The '''''Grimoire of Pope Honorius''''', or '''''Sworn Book of Honorius''''', is a 17th to 18th century [[grimoire]], which claims to have been written by Pope Honorius III (1150 - 1227). The text was likely forged near the end of the sixteenth century, roughly four hundred years after the death of its supposed author. | [[File:Pope Honorius III.jpg|350px|thumb|Pope Honorius III from a 13th Century manuscript]] | ||

Pope Honorius III | Pope Honorius III was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 18 July 1216 to his death. As pope, he worked to promote the Fifth Crusade, which had been planned under his predecessor, Innocent III. Honorius repeatedly exhorted King Andrew II of Hungary and Emperor Frederick II to fulfill their vows to participate. He also gave approval to the recently formed Dominican and Franciscan religious orders. | ||
Honorius III acquired some fame as an author. The most important of his writings is the ''Liber censuum Romanae ecclesiae'', which is the most valuable source for the medieval position of the [[Christianity|Catholic Church]] in regard to property and also serves in part as a continuation of the ''Liber Pontificalis''. He also wrote a biography of Celestine III; a biography of Gregory VII; an "Ordo Romanus", which is a sort of ceremonial containing the rites of the Church for various occasions; and thirty-four sermons. | Honorius III acquired some fame as an author.
