Since publication the following emendments are to be noted:
| Page: | ||
|---|---|---|
| xii, l. 3 | The name Lemegeton was probably naively invented because of the compiler's ignorance of Latin. | Replace with: The title Lemegeton was no doubt adopted from a reference cited in Ars Notoria, which describes it as Solomon's "treatise of spiritual and secret experiments" (tractu spiritualium & secretorum experimentorum). See page 170 below. Ars Notoria mentions another Solomonic title, Helisoe, which is likewise noticed by the compiler of the Lesser Key; see pages 6 and 166 below. |
| xiii, l. 13 | Add: Other manuscripts not utilized include Sloane 3824, titled "Longobardus", a precursor to the Lesser Key; Wellcome MS 4665, a copy by Hockley; and Wellcome 3203, Lea's copy of Hockley's. | |
| 16, footnote 37. | H and S2 reads | should read: H and S2 read |
| 22, l. 7, and p. 243, l. 18 | "He appeareth when the Sun is in some of the Southern signs, in a human shape." | Add footnote: Clm 849 reads "Apparet in signo medici cum suscipit figuram humanam; [est] doctor opti[m]us mulierum, et facit ardere in amorem virorum" (He appears in the form of a doctor (medici, not meridii=southern as in Weyer) when he takes on a human form. He is a most excellent doctor of women, and he makes them burn with love for men.) For text see Kieckhefer, Forbidden Rites (University Park Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1998, pp. 291-293.) |
| 39, l. 13 | ... in time of acction &c. | Add footnote: This spirit occurs as one invoked into a crystal in order to discover a thief, treasure, etc. variously given as Andromalcum, Andromalce, and Andrewemalcus. See Sloane 3847 fol. 17r-18r for an example. |
