	The oldest known portion of the ''Lemegeton'', the ''Ars Notoria'' (or Notory Art) was first mentioned by Michael Scot in 1236 (and thus was written earlier). The ''Ars Notoria'' contains a series of prayers (related to those in the ''[[Grimoire of Pope Honorius\|Sworn Book of Honorius]]'') intended to grant eidetic memory and instantaneous learning to the [[magician]]. Some copies and editions of the ''Lemegeton'' omit this work entirely. [[A.E. Waite]] ignores it completely when describing the ''Lemegeton''. It is also known as the ''Ars Nova''.

	Mentioned by Trithemius and Weyer, the latter of whom claimed an Arabic origin for the work. A 15th-century copy is attested to by Robert H.Turner, and Hebrew copies were discovered in the 20th century. The ''Ars Almadel'' instructs the magician on how to create a wax tablet with specific designs intended to contact [[angel]]s via [[scrying]].

	The ''Ars Theurgia Goetia'' is mostly derived from Trithemius's ''Steganographia'', though the seals and order for the spirits are different due to corrupted transmission via manuscript. Rituals not found in ''Steganographia'' were added, in some ways conflicting with similar rituals found in the ''Ars Goetia'' and ''Ars Paulina''. Most of the spirits summoned are tied to points on a compass, four emperors are tied to the cardinal points (Carnesiel in the east, Amenadiel in the west, Demoriel in the north ~~and~~ Caspiel in the south~~), and sixteen~~ dukes are tied to cardinal points, inter-cardinal points, and additional directions between those. There are an additional eleven "wandering princes", totalling thirty-one spirit leaders who each rule several to a few dozen spirits.

	The most obvious source for the ''Ars Goetia'' is [[Johann Weyer]]'s ''[[Pseudomonarchia Daemonum]]'' in his ''De praestigiis daemonum''. Weyer does not cite, and is unaware of, any other books in the Lemegeton, suggesting that the Lemegeton was derived from his work, not the other way around. The order of the spirits changed between the two, four additional spirits were added to the later work, and one spirit ([[Pruflas]]) was omitted. The omission of Pruflas, a mistake that also occurs in an edition of ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' cited in Reginald Scot's ''[[The Discoverie of Witchcraft]]'', indicates that the ''Ars Goetia'' could not have been compiled before 1570. Indeed, it appears that the ''Ars Goetia'' is more dependent upon Scot's translation of Weyer than on Weyer's work in itself. Additionally, some material came from Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's ''Three Books of Occult Philosophy'', the ''[[Heptameron]]'' by pseudo-Pietro d'Abano, and the [[Magical Calendar]].

	Weyer's ''[[Liber ~~Officium~~ Spirituum]]'', which is likely related to a 1583 manuscript titled ''The Office of Spirits'', appears to have ultimately been an elaboration on a 15th-century manuscript titled ''Livre des Esperitz'' (30 of the 47 spirits are nearly identical to spirits in the ''Ars Goetia'').

	In a slightly later copy made by [[Thomas Rudd]] (1583?–1656), this portion was labelled "''Liber Malorum Spirituum seu Goetia''", and the seals and demons were paired with those of the [[Kabbalistic angel\|72 angels]] of the [[Shem HaMephorash]] which were intended to protect the conjurer and to control the demons he summoned. The angelic names and seals derived from a manuscript by Blaise de Vigenère, whose papers were also used by [[Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers]] (1854-1918) in his works for the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]]. Rudd may have derived his copy of ''Liber Malorum Spirituum'' from a now-lost work by [[Johannes Trithemius]], who taught Agrippa, who in turn taught Weyer.
