Derived from book three of Trithemius's ''Steganographia'' and from portions of the ''Heptameron'', but purportedly delivered by Paul the Apostle instead of (as claimed by Trithemius) [[Archangel Raziel]]. Elements from The Magical Calendar, astrological seals by Robert Turner's 1656 translation of [[Paracelsus]]'s ''[[Archidoxes of Magic]]'', and repeated mentions of guns and the year 1641 indicate that this portion was written in the later half of the seventeenth century. | Derived from book three of Trithemius's ''Steganographia'' and from portions of the ''Heptameron'', but purportedly delivered by Paul the Apostle instead of (as claimed by Trithemius) [[Archangel Raziel]].

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]]. | Mentioned by Trithemius and Weyer, the latter of whom claimed an Arabic origin for the work.

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''. | 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).
