Record summary
The Clavicula Salomonis is a widespread family of manuscript grimoires containing prayers, consecrations, planetary figures, circles, tools, and ritual instructions attributed pseudepigraphically to Solomon. It matters because it is not one stable book: versions differ in language, organization, spirit lists, and ritual theology across European witnesses. The tradition offers a strong comparison point for textual transmission, scribal adaptation, and later print standardization. Researchers should identify a specific manuscript or edition rather than cite “the Key of Solomon” as though a single authoritative recension existed.
