NOTE: A considerably enlarged printed edition of the Lesser Key of Solomon is available:
Editor's note: This text has close parallels with book one of Trithemius' Steganographia. Although the abundant spirit seals are not found in Trithemius, those few that can be found match exactly. For example, the four seals are found in Steg. I. chapter xi, dealing with the eleventh spirit, Usiel, and his subordinates (Adan, Ansoel, Magni and Abariel). It should be noted that Trithemius' conjurations are actually his examples of hidden writing ('steganography'), and do not correspond with the conjurations found in Theugia Goetia.
Another related text is found in Sl. 3824 fol. 53r-71v, which can be considered a prototype of this, perhaps an intermediary between Trithemius and Sl. 3825. fol. 53r. The title in Sl. 3824 is simply "The Second Parte of the Art of King Solomon". There are again no corresponding spirit sigils in Sl. 3824, aside from the few taken from Trithemius. -JHP

Here beginneth the second Part calledthe Art Theurgia Goetiaof Kinge Salomon |
Compare Sl. 3824 fol. 53r. The title in Sl. 3824 is simply "The Second Parte of the Art of King Solomon" |
In this following Treatise you have 31 names of cheife spirits with severall of the ministering spirits which are under them with their seals and [*or]1 characters which are to be worne as a lamin on your breasts [*brest];2 for without that the Spirit that has appeared will not obey you, to do your will &c. |
1. So Sl. 3824. 2. So Sl. 3824. |
The offices of these spirits is all one, for what one can doe3 the other [others] can doe the same. They can shew and discover all things that is hidd and done4 in the world: and can fetch and carry or doe any thinge that is to be done or is contained in any of the four Elements Fier, ayre, Earth and water &c allso [they can discover] the secrets of kings or any other person or persons5 let it be in what kinde it will. |
3. Sl. 3824: "what one comands". 4. So Sl. 3824: "are hid or done". 5. Sl. 3824: "... of any person whatsoever". |
These spirits [being aerial] are by nature good and evill That is, one part is good, and the other part Evill. They are governed by their princes, and each prince hath his place of abode in the points of the compass -- as is shewed in the following figure; Therefore when you have a desire to call any of the kings or any of their Servants, you are to direct yourselfe to that point of the compass the Kinge hath his mansion or please [*place] of abode, and you cannot well erre in your operations. Note: every prince is to observe his conjuration, yet all [are] of one forme, except the name and place of the spirit [being varied], for in that they must change and differ allso the seal of the spirits is to be changed accordingly. as for the garments and other materiall things they are [the same as] spoken of in the Booke Goetia. [117r is blank] [117v] The form of the figure which discovereth the order of the 31 kings or princes wth their servant ministers for when the king is found his subjects are Easy to be found out &c.
You may perceive by this figure that 20 of these kings have their first mantions [mansions] and continue in one place, and that ye other 11 are moveable [mobile] & are sometimes in one place sometime in another, and in some other times [they are] together more or less: therefore its no matter which way you stand with your face, when you have a desier to call any of them forth or their servants.
