Elucidation of Necromancy Lucidarium Artis Nigromantice attributed to Peter of Abano | Free Book
Including a new translation of his Heptameron or Elements of Magic With
text, translation, and commentary by Joseph H. Peterson
Since it first appeared over 500 years ago, the
Elucidation of Necromancy (Lucidarium artis Nigromantice)
and the closely related Heptameron have become essential guides
for individuals seeking to call on angels and other supernatural
beings for help. Countless amulets and pendants have been made with
its designs, and elements have repeatedly been adapted and
incorporated into other manuals of ritual magic. In spite of this,
neither a critical edition nor a translation has been previously
published. In particular three manuscripts of Lucidarium have
come to light recently, which provide a clearer and fuller ritual than
the printed Heptameron. For example, they add critical
instructions for making the seven angel sigils, which have become so
widely known. Together they bring to life this important current of
esoteric tradition, showing how it has been repeatedly adapted and
used by different individuals for centuries.
