Record summary
The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, commonly associated with manuscript Clm 849, is a fifteenth-century Latin or German-area magical manuscript containing conjurations, procedures, spirit names, and practical ritual material. It is valuable for studying how learned clerical magic and demonological categories appear in a working manuscript rather than in a later occult synthesis. Researchers should examine the codex as a historical artefact, including handwriting, compilation, and intended use. Translation choices, manuscript description, and the boundary between magic and demonology require careful verification.
