Record summary
The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, conventionally associated with manuscript Clm 849, preserves late medieval Latin and German materials concerning spirits, conjuration, divination, and ritual procedures. It matters because it offers a comparatively concrete manuscript witness for studying how demonological concepts were organized in practice-oriented texts rather than only in theological treatises. Researchers should verify the manuscript’s contents, dating, language layers, and editorial boundaries, since “manual” is a modern descriptive label and the codex may contain heterogeneous material.
