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) [[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]].

Traditions of Paul communicating with heavenly powers are almost as old as [[Christianity]] itself, as seen in some interpretations of 2 Corinthians 12:2–4 and the apocryphal Apocalypse of Paul. The ''Ars Paulina'' is in turn divided into two books, the first detailing twenty-four angels aligned with the twenty-four hours of the day, the second (derived more from the Heptameron) detailing the 360 spirits of the degrees of the zodiac. | Traditions of Paul communicating with heavenly powers are almost as old as [[Christianity]] itself, as seen in some interpretations of 2 Corinthians 12:2–4 and the apocryphal Apocalypse of Paul.
