The Lesser Key of Solomon, attributed by some to have been written by King Solomon. This is most likely incorrect as in the list of 72 demons, each is given a title of nobility, some of which did not exist in Solomon's time. The grimoire also contains prayers to Jesus and the Christian Trinity. The book first appeared in the 17th century. The Lesser Key of Solomon is divided into five parts: The Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel and the Ars Notoria.
The Ars Goetia, the first part, contains a list of 72 demons King Solomon was believed to have summoned and sealed in bronze containers. The Ars Goetia assigns each of the 72 a title of nobility from king to knight as well as the demons' respective seals.
The Ars Theurgia Goetia gives details on 31 aerial spirits; their names, powers and seals. The section also tells how to protect against them, the names of those that serve them, ways to summon and whether they are good or evil.
The Ars Paulina, literally The Art of Paul, contains information on how to deal with angels. This includes, as above, their names, how and when to invoke them, their servants and their seals. Curiously, two of the angels seem to match up with two of the 72 demons from the Ars Geotia.
The Ars Almadel tells how one might construct an almadel, a wax tablet with protective symbols carved on it, and the candles to be placed on it. The author also tells of the rituals needed to construct the almadel and the candles.
The Ars Notoria, the final part, contains mainly prayers. This section also tells how the prayers must be said and how they relate to the understanding of science. The book maintains that this information was given directly to King Solomon by God through an angel.
