	The work is divided into two books. The first book contains instructions for summoning a [[demon]] and for the construction of tools with which to force the demon to do one's bidding. The second book is further divided into two parts: the ''Sanctum Regnum'' and ''Secrets, de L'Art Magique du Grand Grimoire'' ("Secrets, of the magic art of the Grand Grimoire"). The ''Sanctum Regnum'' contain instructions for making a [[diabolical pact\|pact with the demon]], allowing one to command the spirit without the tools required in book one, but at greater risk.
