Containing the full translation of the Hygromanteia. This book is sometimes called the Hygromanteia, and this book has hidden behind the mistaken idea that all of it is a work on water divination, a scholarly mistake that has hidden the true value of this book for centuries. Throughout history thousands of people have been fascinated by the grimoire the Key of Solomon. This is the original Greek book of magic that was the source of the Key of Solomon, and in turn the ancestor of most of the grimoire-based ceremonial magic practiced in Europe and the US today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a ground-breaking work. For the first time (outside of a handful of pages in academic works) the full Greek original of the Key of Solomon appears in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrary to popular opinion the Key of Solomon was not translated from a Hebrew original. During the gradual decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire, this precious text, along with many others, was taken to Italy. This may even have happened when Constantinople was sacked in 1453. It is quite likely that it was taken to Venice, where parts of it were translated into Latin and Italian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbridged Latin copies entitled the Clavicula Salomonis circulated in Europe, going through many changes, languages and versions to become the Key of Solomon as we know it (some of those manuscripts are published as Volume IV of the present series). Now for the first time you can read the whole text (large portions of which were left out of the Latin translations).\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Media Mail Shipping within the U.S.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe ship all International orders via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/\"\u003ePriority Post\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eShipping discounts available on combined orders!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeedless to say, prices are subject to change without notice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe strive to ensure quality and satisfaction with every book sold.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYour privacy is very important to us!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe ship our items discreetly with no occult references on the package.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo view our Return Policy, Privacy Policy and\/or Terms and Conditions, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/the-legal-stuff\/\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden Hoard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67709559734517,"sku":"18500","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/9201\/4325\/files\/IMG_1380.jpg?v=1792099042","url":"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/products\/the-magical-treatise-of-solomon-or-hygromanteia","provider":"Dark Star Magick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
