Introduction

The Ars Notoria is a Medieval Grimoire of the 'Solomonic Cycle'. Many Latin manuscripts are extant, the oldest
are dated thirteenth century, and possibly earlier. Like Liber Juratus (also thirteenth century), the text centers around
an even older collection of orations or prayers which are interspersed with magical words. The orations in Ars
Notoria and those in Liber Juratus are closely related, and there is evidence that the Ars Notoria represents the
earlier version, and Liber Juratus is dependent on it. (See Gsta Hedegrd: Liber Iuratus Honorii Stockholm :
Almovist & Wiksell International, 2002.) The orations in both works are said to have mystical properties which can
impart communion with God and instant knowledge of divine and human arts and sciences.

Robert Turner's 1657 edition of the Ars Notoria is evidently his own translation from the Latin, and is apparently
based on the Latin version which was printed with Agrippa's Opera Omnia. Unfortunately both these versions omit
the drawings of the notae or mystical drawings which are the centerpiece of this art. Their omission adds greatly to
the confusion of the text. Unfortunately, Turner further adds to the confusion by omitting some of the internal
references to the missing figures (for example, see oration 8.)

Turner's translations also exhibit some anti-Catholic bias, as might be expected. As examples, he omits references
to confession, or renders the passage as "confessed unto God"; he also drops references to remaining faithful to the
Catholic church.

The Ars Notoria enjoyed a long and fluid history, the text mutating over time. The version included in Agrippa
essentially represents the end of this process. It also represents the abridged or 'glossed' version of Ars Notoria as
opposed to the older version, which Vronse calls "version A". (See Vronse, p. 17.)

For examples of the illustrations and an excellent discussion of the Ars Notoria, see the article by Michael
Camille in Claire Fanger, Conjuring Spirits, Texts and Traditions of Medieval Ritual Magic (Pennsylvania State
University Press, 1998, pp. 110 ff.)

16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
In the Name of the holy and undivided Trinity,
beginneth this most holy Art of Knowledge, Revealed
to SOLOMON, which the Most High Creator by his
holy Angel ministred to SOLOMON upon the Altar of
the Temple; that thereby in a short time he knew all
Arts and Sciences, both Liberal and Mechanick, with
all the Faculties and Properties thereof: He had
suddenly infused into him, and also was filled with all
wisdom, [2] to utter the sacred mysteries of most holy
words.
Alpha and Omega! Oh Almighty God, the beginning of
all things, without beginning, and without end:
Graciously this day hear my prayers; neither do thou
render unto me according to my sins, nor after mine
iniquities, O Lord my God, but according to thy mercy,
which is greater then all things visible and invisible.
Have mercy upon me, O Christ, the Wisdom of the
Father, the Light of Angels, the Glory of Saints, the
Hope, Refuge, and Support of Sinners, the Creator of
all things, the Redeemer of all humane Frailties, who
holdest the Heaven, Earth, and Sea, and all the whole
World, in the palm of thy Hand: I humbly implore and
beseech, That thow wilt mercifully with the Father,
illustrate my Minde with the beams of thy holy Spirit,
that I may be able to come and attain to the perfection
of this most holy Art, and that I may be able to gain the
knowledge of every Science, Art, and Wisdom; and of
every Faculty of Memory, Intelligences, Understanding,
and Intellect, by the Vertue and Power of [3] thy most
holy Spirit, and in thy Name. And thou, O God my
God, who in the beginning hast created the Heaven and
the Earth, and all things out of nothing; who reformest,
and makest all things by thy own Spirit; compleat,
fulfil, restore, and implant a sound Understanding in
me, that I may glorifie thee and all thy Works, in all my
Thoughts, Words, and Deeds. O God the Father,
confirm and grant this my Prayer, and increase my
Understanding and Memory, and strengthen the same,
to know and receive the Science, Memory, Eloquence,
and Perseverance in all manner of Learning, who livest
and reignest World without end. Amen.

Therefore there are certain Notes of the Notary Art,
http://www.esotericarchives.com/notoria/notoria.htm 6/75
16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
which are manifest to us; the Vertue whereof Human
Reason cannot comprehend. The first Note hath his
signification taken from the Hebrew; which though
the expression thereof be comprehended in a very [7]
few words; nevertheless, in the expression of the
Mystery, they do not lose their Vertue: That may be
called their Vertue, which doth happen and proceed
from their pronunciation, which ought to be greatly
admired at.
[Beginning of] The first precept [, first chapter of
three chapters].
HEly Scemath, Amazaz, Hemel; Sathusteon, hheli
Tamazam, &c.1 which Solomon entituled, His first
Revelation; and that to be without any Interpretation:
It being a Science of so Transcendent a purity, that it
hath its Original out of the depth and profundity of the
Chaldee, Hebrew, and Grecian Languages; and
therefore cannot possible by any means be explicated
fully in the poor Thread-bare Scheme of our
Language. And of what nature the Efficacy of the
aforesaid words are, Solomon himself doth describe in
his Eleventh Book, Helisoe, of the Mighty Glory of
the Creator: but the Friend and Successor of Solomon,
that is, Apollonius, with some few others, to whom
that Science hath been manifested, have explained the
same, and defined it to [8] be most Holy, Divine,
Deep, and Profound Mysteries; and not to be
disclosed nor pronounced, without great Faith and
Reverence.
A Spiritual Mandate of the precedent Oration.
Before any one begin to reade or pronounce any
Orations of this Art, to bring them to effect, let them
alwayes first reverently and devoutly rehearse this
Prayer in the beginning.
If any one will search the Scriptures, or would
understand, or eloquently pronounce any part of
Scripture, let him pronounce the words of the
following Figure, to wit, Hely scemath, in the morning
betimes of that day, wherein thou wilt begin any work.
And in the Name of the Lord our God, let him
diligently pronounce the Scripture proposed, with this
Prayer which follows, which is, Theos Megale; And is
mystically distorted, and miraculously and properly
framed out of the Hebrew, Greek , and Chaldean
Tongues: and it extendeth itself briefly into every
Language, in what beginning soever [9] they are
declared. The second part of the Oration of the second
Chapter, is taken out of the Hebrew, Greek, and
Chaldee; and the following Exposition thereof, ought
to be pronounced first, which is a Latine Oration: The
third Oration of the three Chapters, always in the

OH God, the Light of the World,
Father of Immense Eternity, Giver

of all Spiritual Grace; most Holy
and Inestimable Dispenser, knowing
all things before they are made;
who makest Light and Darkness:
Stretch forth thy Hand, and touch
my Mouth, and make my Tongue as
a sharp sword;1 [10] to shew forth
these words with Eloquence; Make
my Tongue as an Arrow elected to
declare thy Wonders, and to
pronounce them memorably: Send
forth thy holy Spirit, O Lord, into
my Heart and Soul, to understand
and retain them, and to meditate on
them in my Conscience: By the
Oath of thy Heart, that is, By the
Right-hand of thy holy Knowledge,
and mercifully inspire thy Grace
into me; Teach and instruct me;
Establish the coming in and going
out of my Senses, and let thy
Precepts teach and correct me until
the end; and let the Councel of the
most High assist me, through thy
infinite Wisdom and Mercy. Amen.

16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
He sheweth how the precedent Oration is the
Beginning and Foundation of the whole Art.
THat is the first Figure of the Notary Art, which is
manifestly sited upon a Quadrangle Note: And this is
Angelical Wisdom, understood of few in Astronomy;
but in the Glass of Astrology, it is called, The Ring of
Philosophy; and in the Notary Art it is written, To be
the Foundation of the whole Science. But it is to be
rehearsed four times a day, beginning in the morning
once, about the third hour once, once in the ninth
hour, and once in the evening.
The precedent Oration ought to be [14] spoken
secretly; and let him that speaks it be alone, and
pronounce it with a low voyce, so that he scarcely
hear himself. And this is the condition hereof, that if
necessity urge one to do any great works, he shall say
it twice in the morning, and about the ninth hour
twice; and let him [be confessed, and] fast the first
day wherein he rehearseth it, and let him live chastly
and devoutly. And this is the oration which he shall
say:
This is the Oration of the four Tongues, Chaldee,
Greek, Hebrew and Latine, evidently expounded,
which is called, "the Splendor or Speculum of
Wisdom." In all holy Lunations, these Orations ought
to be read, once in the morning, once about the third
hour, once about the ninth hour, and once in the
evening.

thereof is more prolixious, than can be considered of
or apprehended by man; excepting also those secrets,

10/75
16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
which is not lawful, neither is it given to man to utter:
Therefore he leaveth this Oration without any
Exposition, because no man could attain to the
perfection [16] thereof: and it was left so Spiritual,
because the Angel that declared it to Solomon, laid an
inexcusable prohibition upon it, saying, See that thou
do not presume to give to any other, nor to expound
any thing out of this Oration, neither thou thy self, nor
any one by thee, nor any one after thee: For it is a
holy and Sacramental Mystery, that by expressing the
words thereof, God heareth thy Prayer, and increaseth
thy Memory, Understanding, Eloquence, and
establisheth them all in thee. Let it be read in
appointed times of the Lunation; as, in the fourth day
of the Moon, the eighth and twelfth, as it is written
and commanded: say that Oration very diligently four
times in those dayes; verily believing, That thereby
thy study shall suddenly be increased, and made clear,
without any ambiguity, beyond the apprehension of
humane Reason. [17]
Of the Efficacy of that Oration which is inexplicable
to humane sense.
THis is that onely which Solomon calls The
happiness of Wit, and M. Apollonius termeth it, The
Light of the Soul, and the Speculum of Wisdom: And,
I suppose, the said Oration may be called, The Image
of Eternal Life: the Vertue and Efficacy whereof is so
great, that it is understood or apprehended of very few
or none.
Therefore having essayed some Petitions, Signs
and Precepts, we give them as an entrance to those
things whereof we intend to speak; of which they are
part, that we have spoken of before. Nevertheless,
before we come to speak of them, some things are
necessary to be declared, whereby we may more
clearly and plainly set forth our intended History: For,
as we have said before, there are certain Exceptions of
the Notary Art; some whereof are dark and obscure,
and others plain and manifest.
For the Notary Art hath a Book in Astronomy,
whereof it is the Beginning [18] and mistris; and the
Vertue thereof is such, that all Arts are taught and
derived from her. And we are further to know, That
the Notary Art doth in a wonderful manner contain
and comprehend within it self, all Arts, and the
Knowledge of all Learning, as Solomon witnesseth:
Therefore it is called, The Notary Art, because in
certain brief Notes, it teacheth and comprehendeth the
knowledge of all Arts: for so Solomon also saith in his
Treatise Lemegeton, that is, in his Treatise of Spiritual
and Secret Experiments.
Here he sheweth, in what manner those Notes differ [21] Hic ostenditur qua ratione in arte ista

[588]
BUt of the Orations and Figures, mention shall be
made in their due place, and how the Notes are called
in the Notary Art. Now he maketh mention of that
Oration, which is called, The Queen of Tongues: for
amongst these Orations, there is one [19] more
excellent than the rest, which King Solomon would
therefore have be called, The Queen of Tongues,
because it takes away, as it were, with a certain Secret
covering the Impediments of the Tongue, and giveth it
a marvellous Faculty of Eloquence. Wherefore before
we proceed further, take a little Essay of that Oration:
For this is an Oration which in the Scriptures we are
taught to have alwayes in our mouthes; but it is taken
out of the Chaldean Language: which, although it be
short, is of a wonderful Vertue; that when you reade
that Scripture, with the Oration before-mentioned, you
cannot keep silent those things, which the Tongue and
Understanding suggest, and administer to thee.
The Oration which follows, is a certain Invocation
of the Angels of God, and it provoketh Eloquence,
and ought to be said in the beginning of the Scripture,
and in the beginning of the Moneth. [20]
The Oration

Here following is the Prologue of the precedent
Oration, which provoketh and procureth Memory,
and is continued with the precedent Note.
THis Oration ought to be said next to the
precedent Oration; to wit, Lameth: and with this, I
beseech thee to day, O Theos, to be said always as one
continued Oration. If it be for the Memory, let it be
said in the morning; if for any other effect, in the
evening. [22] And thus let it be said in the hour of the
evening, and in the morning: And being thus
pronounced, with the precedent Oration, it increaseth
the Memory, and helpeth the Imperfections of the
Tongue.
Here beginneth the Prologue of this Oration.
I Beseech thee, O my Lord, to
illuminate the Light of my
Conscience with the Splendor of thy
Light: Illustrate and confirm my
Understanding, with the sweet
odour of thy Spirit. Adorn my Soul,
that hearing I may hear and what I

Here follows an efficacious Preface of an Oration, [31] Hec est prsatio orationis efficacia
shewing what Verture and Efficacy you may thereby quam efficaciam quam virtutem poteris
prove every day. qualibet die probare.

Of this Oration Solomon saith, That by it a new
knowledge of Physick is to be received from God:
Upon which, he hath laid this command, and calleth
it, The Miraculous and Efficacious Foundation of the
Physical Science; and that it containeth in it the
quantity and quality of the whole Physical Art and
Science: wherein there is contained, rather a
miraculous and specious, then fearful or terrible
Miracle, which as often-soever as thou readest the
same, regard not the paucity of words, but praise the
Vertue of so great a Mystery: For, Solomon himself
speaking of the subtility of the Notory Art,
wonderfully extolls the Divine Help; to wit, Because
we have proposed a [27] great thing, that is to say so
many and so great Mysteries of Nature, contained
under so specious brevity, that I suppose them to be as
a general Problem to be proposed in the ordination of
so subtile and excellent a work; that the minde of the
Reader or Hearer may be the more confirmed and
fixed hereupon.
De ista oratione ait Salomon, hanc nouam
cognitionem physic Deo accipi: vnde
vocauit & dixit hoc mandatum miraculum
cum esse efficax fundamentum physic
scienti, & quod contineat in se quantitatem
& qualitatem scienti totius artis physice
inqua re est mirabiliter magis speciosum
quam horridum miraculum. Tu at
quotiescunque legeris, non adverborum
paucitatem, sed mysterij tanti lauda virtutem.
Ipse enim Salomon de artis Notori

extorsit: Scilicet quia grande quoddam

http://www.esotericarchives.com/notoria/notoria.htm 15/75
16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
Here he sheweth how every Note of every Art, ought
to exercise his own office; and that the Notes of one
Art profit not to the knowledge of another Art; and
we are to know, That all Figures have their proper
Orations.
We come now, according to our strength, to divide
the families of the Notory Art; and leaving that part
which is natural, we come to the greater parts of the
Art: for Solomon, a great Composer, and the greatest
Master of the Notory Art, comprehendeth divers Arts
under the Notion thereof. Therefore he calleth this a
Notory Art, because it should be the Art of Arts, and
Science of Sciences; which [28] comprehendeth in it
self all Arts and Sciences, Liberal and Mechanick:
And those things which in other Arts are full of long
and tedious locutions, filling up great prolixious
Volumes of Books, wearying out the Student, through
the length of time to attain to them: In this Art are
comprehended very briefly in a few words or writings,
so that it discovereth those things which are hard and
difficult, making the ingenious learned in a very short
time, by the wonderful and unheard-of Vertue of the
words.
Therefore we, to whom such a faculty of the
knowledge of the Scripture of Sciences is granted,
have wholly received this great gift, and inestimable
benefit, from the overflowing grace of the most high
Creator. And whereas all Arts have their several Notes
properly disposed to them, and signified by their
Figures; and the Note of every Art, hath not any office
of transcending to another Art, neither do the Notes of
one Art profit or assist to the knowledge of another
Art: Therefore this may seem a little difficult, as this
small Treatise, which may [29] be called a Preludium

severally; and that which is more necessary, we shall
by the Divine Providence diligently search out the
several Sciences of the Scripture.
A certain special Precept.
THis is necessary for us, and necessarily we
suppose will be profitable to posterity, that we know
how to comprehend the great prolixious Volumes of
writings, in brief and compendious Treatises; which,
that it may easily be done, we are diligently to enquire
out the way of attaining to it, out of the three most
ancient Books which were composed by Solomon; the
first and chiefest thing to be understood therein, is,
That the Oration before the second Chapter, is to be
used long before every speech, the beginning whereof
is Assay: and the words of the Oration are to be said
in a competent space of time; but the subsequent part
of the Oration is then chiefly to be said, when you
desire the knowledge of the Volumes of writings, and
looking [30] into the Notes thereof. The same Oration
is also to be said, when you would clearly and plainly
understand and expound any Science or great

that no humane power nor faculty in man is reliquit inexpositum. Scias ad eius
sufficient to finde out the Exposition thereof. expositionem nequaquam humanam posse

This Oration is also called by Solomon, The
Gemme and Crown of the Lord: for he saith, It
helpeth against danger of Fire, or of wilde Beasts of
the [33] Earth, being said with a believing faith: for it
is affirmed to have been reported from one of the four
Angels, to whom was given power to hurt the Earth,
the Sea, and the Trees. There is an example of this
Oration, in the Book called, The Flower of heavenly
Learning; for herein Solomon glorifieth God, because
by this he inspired into him the knowledge of
Theologie, and dignified him with the Divine
Mysteries of his Omnipotent Power and Greatness:
which Solomon beholding in his night-Sacrifice,
bestowed upon him by the Lord his God, he
conveniently gathered the greater Mysteries together
in this Notory Art, which were holy, and worthy, and
reverend Mysteries. These things and Mysteries of
Theologie the erring Gentiles have not all lost, which
Solomon calleth, The Signe of the holy Mystery of
God revealed by his Angel before; and that which is
contained in them, is the fulness of our dignity and
humane Salvation.
[38] Hc etiam oratio Salomone
Gemma coron Domini appellatur. In

These are Orations also, which are of great virtue
and efficacy to our Salvation: The first whereof is
Spiritual, and teacheth Divinity; and also
Perseverance in the Memory thereof: Therefore
Solomon commandeth it to be called, The Signe of the
Grace of God: for, as Ecclesiastes saith, This is the
Spiritual Grace of God, that hath given me knowledge
to treat of all Plants, from the Cedar of Lebanon, to
the Hyssop that groweth on the wall.

efficaciam. Quarum prima oratio Spiritualis

Solomon testifieth, That an Angel delivered the
following Oration in Thunder, who standeth alwayes
in the Presence of the Lord, to whom he is not
dreadful. The Mystery hereof is holy, and of great
efficacy: neither ought this Oration to be said above
once, because it moveth the heavenly Spirits to
perform any great work.
Of this Oration he saith, That so great is the
Mystery thereof, that it moveth the Celestial Spirits to
perform any great work which the Divine Power
permitteth. It also giveth the vertue [36] of its Mystery,
that it exalteth the tongue and body of him that
speaketh it, with so great inspiration, as if some new
and great Mystery were suddenly revealed to his
understanding.
Here followeth the beginning of this Oration,
wherein is so great vertue and efficacy, as we have
said, it being said with great devotion.
Achacham, Yhel, Chelychem, Agzyraztor, Yegor,
&c.
This is the beginning of the Oration, the parts
whereof are four: But there is something to be said of
the beginning by itself, and of the four parts severally;
and then between the beginning and these Orations,
which are four, we shall make this competent division.
For this is that which is to be spoken of the
beginning severally: And this Oration is to be divided
into four parts; and the first part thereof is to be said,
that is, the beginning, before any other part of the
Oration is to be compleated. These Greek Names [37]
following are to be pronounced. This is the division of
these Orations, Hielma, Helma, Hemna, &c. Oh God
the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, Confirm
this Oration, and my Understanding and Memory, to
receive, understand, and retain the knowledge of all
good Scriptures; and give me perseverance of minde
therein.

have said before, ought to be said according to

Constitutions [=arrangements] thereof; and ought to
be repeated, because of the forgetfulness of our
Memory, and according to the exercise of our wit, and
according to the sanctity of our life; there being
contained in it so great a Mystery, and such
efficacious Vertue.
There followeth another subtile Oration, wherein is
contained a Sacramental Mystery, and wherein every
perfect Science is wonderfully compleated: For
hereby God would have us to know, what things are
Celestial, and what are Terrene; and what heavenly
things the Celestial effecteth, and what earthly things
things the Terrene: because the Lord hath said, My
eyes have [38] seen the imperfect, and in thy book
every day shall be formed and written, and no man in
them, &c. So it is in the Precepts of God: for we are
not able to write all things, how the Sun hath the same
course as at first, that our order may be confirmed: for
all writing whatsoever, which is not from God, is not
to be read; for God himself would have all things to
be divided: & this is how these are to be used, before
the second part, which containeth so glorious and
excellent Consecrations of Orations, & defineth the
Consecrated part to have power in the Heavens, and in
no wise can be defined by humane tongues.
This is the beginning of the second part of that
Oration spoken of before, which is of so great
vertue.
Aglaros, Theomiros, Thomitos, &c.
This is the second part of the precedent Oration, of
which some singular thing is to be spoken. Wherefore
if thou sayest this Oration, commemorating the first
part thereof, say the Oration following, and thou shalt
[39] perceive the precepts which are therein.
Oh God of all things, who art my God, who
in the beginning hast created all things out
of nothing, and hast reformed all things by
the Holy Spirit; compleat and restore my
conscience, and heal my understanding,
that I may glorify thee in all my works,
thoughts and words.
And after thou hast said this Oration, make a little
respite the space of half an hour, and then say the third
part of the Oration, which follows: Megal, Legal,
Chariotos, &c. having said this third part of the
Oration, then meditate with thy self about the
Scriptures thou desirest to know; and then say this
Oration:

Commemorating the parts according to that which
is laid down, add the Oration following: the other
Orations being said, say the fourth part of the Oration,

Then the parts being commemorated as is directed,

I speak these things in thy presence,
Oh Lord my God, before whose
face all things are naked and open,
that I being washed from the error
of infidelity, thy all-quicking Spirit
may assist me, and take away all
incredulity from me. [Amen.]
How the Latine Orations are not expounded by the
words of the Orations.
We are therefore to know, that the whole Oration
remaineth unexpounded; because the words thereof
are of so great subtilty, adorned with the Hebrew and
Chaldean Tongue, with the subtile and wonderful
elocution of God: that the office of the free exposition
thereof, cannot possibly be transferred upon me. The
Latine words which are subjoyned to the parts of the
Oration aforesaid, are such words as have been
translated out of the [41] Chaldean Tongue: for they
are not the whole Oration; but as certain heads of
every Oration pertaining thereunto.
Here he speaketh of the efficacy of all these.
For this Oration is such a mystery, as King
Solomon himself witnesseth, that a Servant of his
House having found this book by chance, and being
too much overcome with Wine in the Company of a
Woman, he presumptuously read it; but before he had
finished a part thereof, he was stricken dumb, blind
and lame, and his Memory taken from him; so he
continued to the day of his death: and in the hour of
his death, he spoke and said, that four Angels which
he had offended in presumptuous reading so sacred a
mystery, were the daily keepers and afflicters, one of

his Memory, another of his speech, a third of his sight, alterum lingu, tertium oculorum, quartum
and the fourth of his hearing.
By which Testimony this Oration is so much
commended by the same King Solomon, and great is
the mystery [42] thereof: we do greatly require and
charge every one, that will say or read it, that he do it voluerit, non prsumptuose eam dicat. In
not presumptuously; for in presumption is sin;
wherefore let this Oration be said, according as is
directed.
We therefore hold it convenient and necessary, to
speak something of the general precepts of art, and of
the knowledge of all arts; and of the several precepts
of every singular art: but because we have touched
somthing of the course of the Moon, it is necessary
that we shew what her course signifies. The Moon
passeth through 12 signs in one Moneth; and the Sun
through 12 signs in a year; and in the same term and
time, the Spirit inspireth, fructifieth and illustrateth
them; whence it is said, that the Sun and the Moon run
their course: it is understood the course which first
they had. But because this is wanting in the Hebrew,
we thought good to omit it in the Latine, having
spoken sufficiently of the preceding Oration, and the
three parts thereof. [43]
In this Chapter he sheweth the efficacy of the
subsequent Oration, it being special to obtain
Eloquence.
This Holy Oration which followeth, is a certain
special Oration, to obtain eloquence; whereas all
others have virtue and efficacy in other things, this
containeth this certain special mystery in it self: And
whereas one of the generals is shewing in it self,
certain general precepts, common to all arts for so
God instituted the soul in the body, saying, This I give
unto you, that ye may keep and observe the Law of
the Lord; And these are they that stand in the presence
of God alwayes, and see their Saviour face to face
night and day. So of this Oration, I say, This is that
most glorious, mystical and intelligible Oration,
containing such mysteries in it, which the mind,
conscience and tongue succeedeth. This is such a
mystery, that a man shall keep it according to his will,
who foreseeth all things in his sight that are made; for
the mystery of this Oration is glorious [44] and
sacramental: let no man presume to say any of this
Oration after too much drinking or Luxury; nor
fasting, without great reverence and discretion.
Whence Solomon saith, Let no man presume to treat
any thing of this Oration, but in certain determinate
and appointed times, unless he make mention of this
Oration before some great President, for some
weighty business; for which this Oration is of
wonderful excellent virtue.

regi Salomoni omnino commendabilis facta
est: Tantum enim est ipsius mysterium.
Prcipimus ergo vt quicunque eam legere

prceptum est ita dicatur ista oratio.
[58] DE ARTIS ERGO PRAECEPTIS

cursu quid significet exponamus. Luna 12,
signa habet in mense vno, Sol ver 12. signa
in anno: & spiritus vno eodemque tempore

illustrat. Vnde dictum est: vt Luna & Sol
cursum suum habent, subauditur, quia prius
habebant. Sed quia in hebro istud deficit, in

orationis subsequentis, qu specialis est ad

Hc oratio sancta qu sequitur, est

Cum autem cter omnes de pluribus

vna de generalibus est ostendens in se
qudam generalia prcepta omnibus atribus

in corpore, dicens, hanc vobis do vt ipsam
obseruetis & custodiatis legem Domini. Et
qui sunt isti, in conspectu Dei semper
assistunt, & vident saluatorem facie ad
faciem noctu dieque. Item de eadem
oratione: Hc est inquam illa oratio
gloriosissima mystica & intelligibilis,
continens in se mysteria, in quibus mens &
conscientia & lingua succedit. Ipsa enim
mysteria, tanta vt homo seruet ea secundm
voluntatem eius qui pruidet omnia in
conspectu suo condita. Ipsa enim est oratio,
cuius tam gloriosum & sacramentale est
mysterium. De ipsa oratione nemo post
crapulam nimiam vel luxuriam aliquid dicere
prsumat, nec etiam ieiunus nisi in magna
veneratione & discretione eam proferat.
Vnde Salomon inquit: Nemo de hac
oratione, nisi suis temporibus determinatis

The goodness of this Oration, and the attaining to
the effects thereof, it is read in that Psalm wherein it is tam salubris est, vt eius interuentione
said, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men,
as he said and did.
We know that it is not of our power, that this
Oration is of so great Virtue, and such a mystery, as
sometimes also the Lord said to his disciples, This we scimus: Neque etiam quando discipulis suis
are not able to know: for this Oration is such a
mystery, that it containeth in it the great Name of
God; which many have lyed in saying they knew it;
for Jesus himself performed many Miracles in the
Temple by it: But many have lyed about what he did,
and have hid and absconded the truth thereof; so [45]
that none have declared the same before it came to
passe: but we suppose have spoken somthing about or abscondeunt veritatem, vt nemo illorum nec
concerning it.
In this chapter he setteth down the time and manner [61] In isto capitulo assignas tempus &
how this Oration is to be pronounced.
For this Oration is one of the generals, and the first
of particulars, containing both in it self; having a
special virtue and faculty, to gain Eloquence in it self:
therefore it is necessary to be understood what time,
ordination, and what dayes it is to be said and
published.
It may alwayes be rehearsed in every 14 Lunary as
above said; but the ordination of the time for every
day, wherein it is to be said, is especially in the
morning betimes, before a man is defiled; and then all
Orations are chiefly to be said. And this Oration must
be then pronounced totally together, without any
division. And although there are divisions therein, the
Oration is not divided in it self; but only the Divine
and Glorious Names are written [46] severally, and are
divided into parts, according to the terminations of
every great and Glorious Name; and it is to be said
together as a most excellent Name, but not as one
Word, because of the fragility of our nature; Neither is
it needful to know the Elements of sillables, posited in
this Oration; they are not to be known; neither let any
one presumptuously speak them; neither let him do
any thing by way of temptation, concerning this
Oration, which ought not to be done: Elmot, Sehel,
Hemech, Zaba, &c.1
No man that is impedited or corrupted with any
crime, ought to presume to say this Oration.
This is a thing agreed unto amongst the wise men
of this World, that these things, as we have said
before, be pronounced with great reverence and
industry: it may be said every day, wherein thou art
not hindred by some criminal sin; and in that day

wherein thou art impedited by some criminal sin, thou
maist remember it in thy heart; and if thou dost desire
to be [47] made Eloquent, repeat it three times. And if
any evil thing trouble thee, or thou art ermerged and
involved into any great business, repeat this Oration
once, and Eloquence shall be added to thee, as much
as is needful; and if thou repeat it over twice, great
Eloquence shall be given to thee: so great a Sacrament
is this Oration.
The third thing to be considered in this Oration, is;
This Oration ought so to be pronounced, that
confession of the Heart and Mouth ought to precede
it: let it be pronounced in the morning early, and after
that Oration say the Latine Oration following.
This is a Prologue or Exposition of the precedent
Oration, which ought to be said together.

merciful Father, blessed before all Worlds;
who art a God eternal, incomprehensible,

blessed gift of Salvation unto us; according
to the omnipotency of thy Majesty, hast

other animals; and hast disposed of all
things by thy infallible providence: thou art
God, whose nature is eternal and
consubstantial, exalted above the Heavens;
in whom the whole Deity corporally
dwells: I implore thy Majesty, and Glorify
thy omnipotency, with an intentive
imploration, adoring the mighty Virtue,
Power and Magnificence of thy eternity. I
beseech thee, Oh my God, to grant me the
inestimable Wisdome of the Life of thy

incomprehensible, in whose presence stand
the Holy quires of Angels; I pray and
beseech thee, by thy Holy and Glorious
Name, and by the sight of thy Angels, and
the Heavenly Principalities, to give thy
GRACE unto me, to be present with mee:,
and give unto me power to persevere in the
Memory of thy Wisdome, who livest and

all worlds of worlds; in whose sight are all
celestial virtues, now and alwayes, and
everywhere, Amen. [49]

divining by the flaming of the fire; which the ancient
Philosophers esteemed of great efficacy. Nigromancy,
is a Sacrifice of dead Animals, whereby the Ancients
supposed to know many great Experiments without
sin, and to attain to great knowledge: from whence
Solomon commandeth that they might read seaven
Books of that Art without sin; and that two he
accompted [52] Sacriledge, and that they could nor:
read two Books of that Art without sin. But having
spoken enough hereof, we proceed to the rest.
Of the liberal Sciences and other things which may

There are seaven liberal Arts, which every one may

He declareth what notes the three first liberal Arts
have.
For Grammar hath three notes only, Dialects two,
and Rhetorick four, and every one with open and
distinct Orations. But wherefore Grammar hath three,
Dialects two, and Rhetorick four; that we know King
Solomon himself testifieth and affirmeth; for he saith,
And as I was admiring and revolving in my heart and
mind, which way, from whom and from whence was
this science, An Angel brought one book, wherein was
written the Figures and Orations, and [53] delivered
unto me the Notes and Orations of all Arts, plainly
and openly, and told me of them all as much as was
necessary: And he explained unto me, as to a Child
are taught by certain Elements, some tedious Arts in a
great space of time, how that I should have these Arts
in a short space of time: Saying unto me, So shalt thou
be promoted to every science by the increase of these
virtues. And when I asked him, Lord, whence and
how cometh this? The Angel answered, This is a great
Sacrament of the Lord, and of his will: this writing is
by the power of the Holy Ghost, which inspireth,
fructifieth and increaseth all knowledge; And again
the Angel said, Look upon these Notes and Orations,
at the appointed and determinate times, and observe
the times as appointed of God, and no otherwise.
When he had thus said he shewed to King Solomon a
book wherein was written, at what times all these
things were to be pronounced and published, and
plainly demonstrated it according to the Vision of
God: Which things I having heard and seen, did
operate in them all, according to [54] the Word of the
Lord by the Angel: And so Solomon declareth,it came
to passe unto him: But we that come after him, ought
to imitate his Authority, and as much as we are able

Dialectica duas, Rhetorica quatuor habet:
ipse Rege Salomone testante & affirmante
illud cognouimus. Ait enim: Et ego admirans

vnde esset ista scientia, Angelus vnum

cognitionem. Et rursus Angelus inquit: Notas

26/75
16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
observe those things he hath left unto us.
Here Solomon sheweth, how the Angel told him
distinctly, wherefore the Grammar hath three
Figures.
Behold wherefore the Grammatical Art hath only
three Notes in the Book of Solomon Gemeliath, that
is, in The Book of the Art of God, which we read is
the Art of all other sciences, and of all other Arts; For
Solomon saith, When I did inquire every thing
singularly of the Angel of God, with fear, saying,
Lord, from whence shall this come to passe to me,
that I mayfully and perfectly know this Art? Why do
so many Notes appertain to such an Art, and so many
to such an Art, and are ascribed to several determinate
Orations, to have the efficacy thereof? The Angel is
thus said to answer: The Grammatical Art is called
[55] a liberal Art, And hath three things necessary
thereunto: Ordination of words and times; and in
them, of Adjuncts or Figures; Simple, compound and
various; and a various declination of the parts to the
parts, or a relation from the parts, and a Congruent
and ordinate division. This is the reason, why there is
three Notes in the Art of Grammar: And so it pleased
the Divine Wisdome, that as there should be a full
knowledge of declining by one; by another, there
should be had a convenient Ordination of all the parts;
by the third, there should be had a continual and
convenient Division of all the parts, simple and
compound.
The Reason why the Dialectical Art hath two
Figures onely.
Dialect, which is called the form of Arts, and a
Doctrinal speech, hath two things necessary thereunto,
to wit, Eloquence of Arguing, and Prudence to
answer; Therefore the greatness of the Divine
Providence and Piety, hath appointed two Notes to it;
that by the first, we may have Eloquence to [56] Argue
and Dispute; and by the second, industry to answer
without ambiguity: Wherefore there are ascribed to
Grammar three Notes, and to Dialect two Notes.
The Reason why Rhetorick hath four Figures.
Let us see wherefore Rhetorick hath four Notes.
For there are four things necessary therein; as the
Angel of the Lord said unto Solomon; to wit, a
continual and flourishing adornment of locution, an

temporibus he omnia proferenda essent,
apertissim & secund visionem Domini
demonstrauit. Quibus enim auditis & visis,
& secundm verbum Angeli Domino
illatum, in omnibus istis operatus sum, & ita
narrat Salomon sibi euenisse. Nos autem
post eum venientes, authoritatem eius
prosecuti sumus, & quantum possumus, ea
qu nobis reliquit, pro posse obseruamus.
[74] Hic ostendit Salomon qualiter Angelus
ostendit sibi diuisim quare Grammatica
tres figuras habet.
Ecce quare ars Grammatica habet tantum
modo tres notas in libro Salomonis
Gemelioth, id est, in libro artes DEI, qu est
ars omnium aliarum scientiarum, & aliarum
artium, legimus, Ait enim Salomon: Et cm
ab Angelo Dei singulatim cum terrore
inquirerem dicens: Domine, & vnde hoc
mihi prstabitur, vt plenari sciam istam
artem: Cur tot notul competant illi arti, &
tot isti, cum orationibus determinatis &
diuisis ad ipsarum habendam efficaciam
ascribantur. Angelus ver respondisse
legitur: Ista ars Grammatica ars liberalis
dicitur, & tria habet necessaria: ordinationem
dictionum & temporum, & ipsis adiunctarum
siue figurarum. Simplex & composita, &
varia, & varia declinatio partium ad partes,
siue partibus relatio, & congrua, &
ordinata diuisio. Hc est ratio quare in
Grammatica tres not apposit sunt, & sic
placuit diuin potenti, vt per vnam
declinandi plena cognitio: per alteram
omnium partium conueniens ordinatio
haberetur: per tertiam omnium partium
simpliciter & composit conueniens &
continua diuisio habeatur.
[75] Ratio quare ars Dialectic duas
figuras habet tantummod.
Dialectica ver, que est forma artium, &
doctrinalis sermo dicitur, duo habet
necessaria, scilicet facundia, argumentandi,
[601] & prudenter respondendi. Duas ergo
notas altitudo prouidenti diuin & pietatis
apposuit, vt per primam facund
argumentandi, & per secundam industriam
respondendi habeamus absque ambiguitare.
Propterea ergo Grammatic tres, Dialectic
duas notas ascripsimus.
[76] Ratio quare ars Rhetoric quatuor
figuras habet.
Quare ergo Rhetorica quatuor notas habet,
videamus. Quatuor enim in ea, vt ait
Salomoni Angelus Domini, sunt necessaria,
27/75
16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
ordinate, competent and discreet judgement, a
Testimony of Causes or Offices, of Chances & Losses,
a composed disposition of buying and selling; An
Eloquence of the matters of that Art, with a
demonstrative understanding. Therefore the greatness
of God hath appointed to the Art of Rhetorick four
Notes, with their Holy and Glorious Orations; as they
were reverently sent by the Hand of God; that every
Note in this Art aforesaid, might have a several
faculty, That the first Note in that Art, might give a
continual [57] locution, a competent and flourishing
adornment thereof: The second, to discern
Judgements, just and unjust, ordinate and inordinate,
true and false: The third, competently to discover
offices and causes: and the fourth giveth
understanding and eloquence in all the operations of
this Art, without prolixity. See therefore how in
Grammar, Logick, and Rhetorick, the several Notes
are disposed in the several Arts.
But of the other Arts and their Notes, we shall speak
in their due place and time, as we find them
disposed in the book of the same Solomon.
At what times and hours the Notes of these three
liberal Arts are to be looked into.
Now we proceed to shew at what time, and how the
Notes of these Arts are to be looked into, and the
Orations to be said, to attain to these Arts. If thou art
altogether ignorant of the Grammatical Art, and
wouldst have [58] the knowledge thereof: if it be
appointed thee of God to do this work of works, and
have a firm understanding in this Art of Arts: Then

How the Grammatical Notes are to be looked into in
the first Moon.
For in this manner, the Grammaticall Notes are to
be looked into, and the Orations to be said.
In the dayes when the Moon is in her prime, the
first Note is to be looked into 12 times, and the
Orations thereof repeated 24 times with Holy
reverence; making a little space between, let the
Orations be twice repeated at the inspection of every
Note, and chiefly abstain from sins: do this from the
first day of the Moon to the 14, and from the 14 to the

17. The first and second Notes are to be looked into
20 times, and the Orations to be repeated 30 times, on
the [59] 15 and 17 dayes, using some interval between
them, All the three Notes are then every dayto be
looked into 12 times, and the Orations to be repeated
20 times: and thus of the Notes of the Art of
Grammar. But if thou hast read any books of this Art,
and desirest perfection therein, do as is commanded;
using the general Orations to increase Memory,
Eloquence, understanding and perseverance therein,
repeating these above in the due time and hours
appointed; lest that going beyond thy precept, thou
committest sin: but when thou dost this, see that it be
secret to thy self, and that thou have no looker on but
God. Now we come to the Notes.
Here followeth the knowledge of the Notes.
In the beginning of the inspection of all Notes, fast
the first day till the evening, if you can; if thou canst
not, then take another hour. This is the Grammatical
precept. [60]
Of the logical notes.
The Dialectical Notes may be used every day,
except only in those dayes before told of: The
Rhetorical every day, except only three dayes of the
Moneth, to wit, . 11, 17, and 19. And they are
forbidden on these dayes, as Solomon testifyes, the
Notes of all Arts, except the Notes of this Art are
offered. These precepts are generally to be observed.
How the Logical Notes are to be inspected, and the
Orations thereof said.
Know, that the Dialectical Notes are four times to
be looked into, and the Orations thereof in that day are
20 times to be repeated, making some respite, and
having the books of that Art before your Eyes; and so
likewise the books of Rhetorick, when the Notes
thereof are inspected, as it is appointed. This sufficeth
for the knowledge of the 3 Arts. [61]
How we must beware of offences.

16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
Before we proceed to begin the first Note of the
Art of Grammar, somthing is to be tryed before, that
we may have the knowledge of the 1, 2, and 3 Notes.
And you ought first to know, in what the Notes of the
Grammatical, Logical, or Rhetorical Art are to be
inspected, it being necessary that your greatest
intentions be to keep from all offences.
How the Notes ought to be inspected, at certain
elected times.
This is a special and manifest knowledge,
wherewith the Notes of the Grammatical Art are
known: how they are to be published, at what times,
and with what distinction, is duly and competently
manifest; it is spoken already of the publishing and
inspection of the Notes and Orations: now we shall
digresse a little to speak somthing of the times, it
being in part done already. [62]
How divers Months are to be sought out in the
inspection of the Notes.
We have spoken already of the tearms of this Art,
wherein the Orations are to be read, and the Notes to
be looked into: it remaineth to declare, how the
Lunations of these Orations are to be inspected and
found out. But see that you mistake not: yet I have
already noted the Lunations, wherein the Notes ought
to be looked into, and the Orations rehearsed: But
there are some Months, wherein the Lunation is more
profitable than others: if thou wouldst operate in
Theology or Astronomy, do it in a fiery sign; if
Grammar or Logick, in Gemini or Virgo; if Musick or
Physick, in Taurus or Libra; if Rhetorick, Philosophy,
Arithmetick or Geometry, in Gemini or Cancer; for
Mathematicks, in Taurus or Gemini: so they are well
placed, and free from evil; for all the Heavenly
Potestates and Chorus of Angels, do rejoyce in their
Lunations, and determinate dayes. [63]
Here is made mention of the Notes of all Arts.
I Apollonius following the power of Solomon, have
disposed my self to keep his works and observations,
as it is spoken of the three Notes of Grammar, so will
I observe the times as they are to be observed: But the
Orations thereof are not written, but are more fully
demonstrated in the following work; for what is
written of those three Notes, are not Orations, but
Definitions of those Notes, written by the Greek,
Hebrew, and Chaldean, and other things which are
apprehended by us: For those writings which are not

Rhetoric artis inspiciuntur. Necessarium est

Qualiter certa tempore debeant prouideri
in inspectione notarum.
Ista est cognitio specialis & manifesta,
qua not artis Grammatic dignoscuntur,
quomodo proferri debeant, & quibus
temporibus, & quali distinctione merit &
competenter manifestatur. Dictum est
superius de prolatione & inspectione
notarum & orationum. Nunc ver
aliquatenus est diuertendum, quia lict de
temporibus in parte actum sit, tamen magis
plen arbitror esse agendum.
Qualiter diuersi menses quruntur in

Diximus superius de terminis istius artis,
quibus orationes sunt legend & not

prdict orationes lunationes inspiciantur &
inueniantur. Sed deinceps videndum est, ne
fort aliqua sit deceptio: tamen in prdicta
notaui lunationes in quibus debeant not
inspici, & orationes proferri. Sed aliqui sunt
menses, quorum lunatio magis vtilis est ad
incipiendum, qum aliorum. Vnde in signo
igneo, c volueris Theologiam vel
Astronomiam operari. Si ver Grammaticam
vel Logicam sit in vel in : Si ver
Musicam vel Physicam sit in vel : Si
ver Rhetoricam, vel Philosophiam, vel

: Pro Mathematica sit in VEL IN . et
sic dies sunt formati & liberi malis, & in
bono loco. Gaudent etiam omnes clestes
potestates, & Angelorum chorus in ipsis
lunationibus, & diebus istis determinatis.
Hic fit mentio de notis omnium artium.
Ego Apollonius authoritatem Salomonis
assecutus, cuius opus & obseruantias
quascunque custodire disposui, sicut dictum
est de tribus notis artis Grammatic, & ita
obseruabo tempora, sicut obseruanda sunt.
Sed sciendum est, orationes earum nondum

ipsis plenius demonstrandum est: sed tamen
que in notis illis tribus scripta sunt, non sunt
orationes, sed definitiones [604] notarum

understood in Latine, ought not to be pronounced, but
on those dayes which are appointed by King Solomon,
and in those dayes wherein the Notes are inspected,
but on those dayes those Holy writings are alwayes to
be repeated: and the Latine, on those dayes wherein
the Notes are not inspected. The Notes of the Logical
Art are two: and at what times they are to be
published is already shewn in part: more shall [64]
hereafter be said of them: now we come to the rest.
The Latine writings may be published, according to
the Antiquity of the Hebrews, except on those dayes
we have spoken of: for Solomon saith, See that thou
perform all those precepts as they are given: But of
the rest which follow, it is to be done otherwise: for
when thou seest the first Note of Logick, repeat in thy
heart the sign in the first Note, and so in the Notes of
all Arts except those whereof a definition shall be
given.
Definitions of several Arts, and the Notes thereof.
We will give also Definitions of several Arts, as it
is in the Book of Solomon; Geometry hath one Note,
Arithmetick a Note and a half; Philosophy, with the
Arts and Sciences contained therein, hath 7 Species;
Theology and Astronomy, with the Sciences in them
contained, hath 7 Notes, but they are great and
dangerous; not great in the pronunciation, but have
great efficacy: Musick hath one Note, and Physick
one Note; but they are all to be [65] published and
rehearsed in their appointed dayes: But know, that in
every day wherein you beholdest the Notes of
Theology, Philosophy, or of any Arts contained in
them, that thou neither laugh nor play, nor sport,
because King Solomon, when he saw the forms of
these Notes, having over-drunk himself, God was
angry with him, and spoke unto him by his Angel,
saying, Because thou hast despised my Sacrament,
and Polluted and derided my Holy things; I will take
away part of thy Kingdome, and I will shorten the
dayes of thy Children. And the Angel added, The Lord
hath forbid thee to enter into the Temple 80 days, that
thou maist repent of thy sin. And when Solomon wept
and besought mercy of the Lord, the Angel answered,
Thy dayes shall be prolonged; nevertheless many
evills and iniquities shall come upon thy Children,

and they shall be destroyed of the iniquities that shall
come upon them.
At the beginning of a Note, having seen the
generals; let the specials be looked into. The word of
Solomon is to seek unto God for his promises, before
the Notes of the three Arts. [66]
[Here is the beginning of the notes.]
The first Oration <at the beginning of the Note>.
[1] The Light, Truth, Life, Way,
Judge, Mercy, Fortitude and
Patience, preserve, help me, and
have Mercy upon me, Amen.
[Oration 2.]
This Oration, with the preceding, ought to be said
in the beginning of the first Note of Grammar.
[2] Oh Lord, Holy Father,
Almighty, eternal God, in whose
sight are all the foundations of all
Creatures, and invisible beings,
whose Eyes behold my
imperfections, of the sweetness of
whose love the Earth and Heavens
are filled; who sawest all things
before they were made, in whose
book every day is formed, and all
mankind are written therein: behold
me thy Servant this day prostrate
before thee, with my whole Heart
and Soul, by thy Holy Spirit
confirm me, blesse me, protect all
my Actions in this inspection or
repetition, and illuminate me with
the constancy of thy visitation.
The 3 Oration.
This Oration ought to be said before the second
Note of Grammar. [67]

of all things; eternal dispensor of all
virtues, and consider my operations

Discerner of all the Actions of Men
and Angels: Let the wonderful
grace of thy promises condescend to
fulfil this sudden virtue in me, and
infuse such efficacy into me,
operating in thy Holy and great
Name, thou who infusest thy praise
into the mouths of them that love
thee, Amen.
The 4 Oration.
Let this Oration be rehearsed before the third
Grammatical Note:
[4] O Adonay, Creator of all visible
Creatures! Oh most Holy Father,
who dwellest incompassed about
with eternal light, disposing and by
thy power governing all things
before all beginnings; I most
humbly beseech thy eternity and thy
incomprehensible goodness may
come to perfection in me, by the
operation of thy most Holy Angels;
And be confirmed in my Memory,
and establish these thy Holy works
in me, Amen.
A little space after this Oration, say the following:
the first Oration ought to be said before the first Note
of Logick.
[5] Oh Holy God, great good, and
the [68] eternal Maker of all things,
thy Attributes not to be exprest,
who hast Created the Heaven and
the Earth, the Sea and all things in
them, and the bottomless pit,
according to thy pleasure; in whose
sight are the Words and Actions of
all men: Grant unto me, by these
Sacramental Mysteries of thy Holy
Angels, the precious knowledge of
this art, which I desire by the
Ministry of thy Holy Angels, it
being without any Malignant or
Malitious intent, Amen.

Beauty, that I may understand and
know what I desire, and what things
are considerable to be known in this
Art, Amen.

ought to be pronounced before the first Figure of

Three Chapters to be published, before any of the
Notes.
What we have spoken of the three first Chap. are
generally and specially to be pronounced, so that you
say them, and the Orations on the dayes appointed,
and work by the Notes [you wish to perform] as it is
demonstrated to you. These Orations ought to be said
alwayes before noon, every day of the Moneth; and
before the [single] Notes say the proper Orations: and
in all reading, observe the precepts commanded. [76]
How the Proper Notes are to be inspected.
If you would learn anything of any one Art, look
into the proper Notes thereof in their due time.
Enough is said already of the three liberal Arts.
What dayes are to be observed in the inspection of [85] Qui dies obseruandi sunt in inspectione
the Notes of the four Arts.
In the four other Arts, only the four first dayes are
to be observed: The Philosophical Notes, with all
Sciences contained therein, the 7 and 17 dayes of the
Moon are to be inspected, 7 times a day, with their
several Orations. The Note is to be looked into, with
fear, silence and trembling.
Of the Notes of the liberal Arts, it is spoken
already; but only know this, that when you would use
them, live chaste and soberly; for the Note hath in it
self 24 Angels, is fully and perfectly to be
pronounced, as you have heard: but when you look
into them, [77] repeat all the Theological Orations, and

the rest in their due time.
Of the inspection of general Notes.
Say the general Notes 10 times a day, when you
have occasion to use any common Arts, having the
books of those Arts before you, using some interval or
space of time between them, as you have been taught
already.
How the three first Chapters are to be pronounced
before Orations.
To have perfection herein, know, that in the general
pronunciation of Orations, the Notes of the three
heads are to be rehearsed; whether the Orations be
pronounced or not.
How the fifth Oration of Theology ought to be
rehearsed upon these Orations.
There is also somthing else to be said of the four
other liberal Arts; if you would have the perfect
knowledge of them, make the first Oration of
Theology [78] before you say the Orations of the other
Notes. These are sufficiently declared, that you may
understand and know them; And let the capitular
Orations be pronounced before the several Notes of
every Art, and kept as is determined, &c. These are
the Augmentations of the Orations, which belong to
all Arts liberal and exceptive, except Mechanick, and
are especially ascribed to the Notes of Theology. And
they are thus to be pronounced, that whensoever you
would look into any one Note of any Art, and would
profit therein, say these Orations following.
http://www.esotericarchives.com/notoria/notoria.htm
viuendum est cast & sobrie. Nota ver

quotiescunque Theologi notas inspexeris
alias orationes prcedentes in principio vt
tantorum sacramentorum habeas efficaciam,
cteris temporibus pronuncia.
[87] De inspectione notarum generalium.
De notis autem generalium et de
orationibus earum hoc scias quod
quotiescunque de exceptiuis, vel adulterinis
scire volueris, ipsas notas generales diebus
singulis decies, factis tamen interuallis &

Et quacunque die volueris de generalibus

volueris libris reuolutis & inspectis: postea

How these Orations are to be said every day once [97] Qualiter dict orationes qualibet die
before the general Notes, and the Notes of the liberal proferantur semel ante notae generales &
Arts.
These 4 Orations are necessary for liberal Arts, but
chiefly do appertain to Theology, which are to be said
everyday before the general Notes, or the Notes of the
liberal Arts; but to Theology say every one of these 7
times to every Note; but if you would learn or teach
any thing of dictating, versifying, singing or Musick,
or any of these Sciences, first teach him these
Orations, that thou would'st teach, how he should read
them: but if he be a Child of mean understanding, read
them before him, and let him say after thee word for
[82] word; but if he be of a good understanding, let
him read them 7 times a day for 7 dayes: or if it be a
general Note, pronounce these Orations, and the
Virtue thereof shall profit you much, and you shall
therein find great virtue.
Solomon saith of these Orations, let no man
presume to make use of them unless for the proper
office they are instituted for.
Oh Father, incomprehensible, from
whom proceedeth every thing that is
good; whose greatness is
incomprehensible: Hear this day my
Prayers, which I make in thy sight,
and grant to me the Joy of thy
saving health, that I may teach unto
the wicked the Wayes and Paths of
thy Sciences, and convert the
Rebellious and incredulous unto
thee, that whatsoever I
commemorate and repeat in my
heart and mouth, may take root and
foundation in me; that I may be
made powerful and efficacious in
thy works, Amen.
Say this Oration before the 6 Note of Philosophy:

Pacification, ingraven in a book of Gold; and heard
this from the Lord: Doubt not, neither be affraid; for
this Sacrament is greater than all the rest; And the
Lord joyned it unto him, When thou look'st into this
Note, and read'st the Orations thereof, observe the
precepts before, and diligently look into them; And
beware that thou prudently conceal and keep
whatsoever thou read'st in this Note of God, and
whatsoever shall be revealed to thee in the vision.
And when the Angel of the Lord appeareth to thee,
keep and conceal the words and writings he revealeth
to thee; and observe them to practice and operate in
them, observing all things with great reverence, and
pronounce them at the appointed dayes and hours, as
before is directed: and afterwards say: Sapienter die
illo; Age, & caste vivas. But if thou dost anything
uncertain, there is danger; as then wilt have
experience from the other Notes and the Orations of
them; but consider that which is most wonderful [87]
in those Orations; for these words are ineffable
Names, and are spiritually to be pronounced before
the ineffable Note, Hosel, Jesel, Anchiator, Aratol,
Hasiatol, Gemor, Gesameor.1 Those are the Orations
which ought to be pronounced after the inspection of
all Arts, and after the Note of Theology.
This is the fulfilling of the whole work; but what is
necessary for an experiment of the work, we will
more plainly declare. In the beginning of the
knowledge of all Art, there is given almost the perfect
doctrine of operating: I say almost, because some
flourishing institutions hereof remain, whereof this is
the first beginning.
How the precepts are to be observed in the operation [106] Qualiter mandat sunt obseruanda in
of all Arts.
Observe the 4 in every operation of Theology.
Exhibit that operation with efficacy every 4
quartam lunam; and diligently look into the books and
writings of those Arts; if thou doubt of any of the
Chapters, they are to be pronounced, as is taught of
the [88] superiour Chapters; but know this, that these

Holy Words of Orations, we appoint to be said before
the bed of the sick, for an experiment of life or death.
And this thou maist do often, if thou wilt operate
nothing else in the whole body of Art: And know this,
that if thou hast not the books in thy hands, or the
faculty of looking into them is not given to thee; the
effect of this work will not be the lesse therefore: but
the Orations are twice then to be pronounced, where
they were to be but once: And as to the knowledge of
a vision, and the other virtues which these holy
Orations have; thou maist prove and try them, when
and how thou wilt.
These precepts are specially to be observed.
But when thou would'st operate in Theology,
observe only those dayes which are appointed; but all
times are convenient for those Notes and Operations,
for which there is a competent time given; but in the
pronounciation of the three liberal Arts, or in the [89]
inspection of their Notes, perhaps thou maist pretermit
some day appointed, if thou observe the rest; or if
thou transgress two dayes, leave not off the work, for
it loseth not its effect for this, for the Moon is more to
be observed in the greater numbers than the dayes or
hours. For Solomon saith, if thou miss a day or two,
fear not, but operate on the general Chapters. This is
enough to say of them: but by no means forget any of
the words which are to be said in the beginning of the
reading to attain to Arts; for there is great virtue in
them. And thou maist frequently use the Holy Words
of the visions: but if thou wouldst operate in the
whole body of the Physical Art, the first Chapters are
first to be repeated as before are defined. And in
Theology, thou must operate only by thy self: Often
repeat the Orations, and look into the Notes of
Theology: this produceth great effects. It is necessary
that thou have the Note of the 24 Angels alwayes in
Memory; and faithfully keep those things, which the
Angel reveales to thee in the vision.1 [90]

The Experiment of the precedent work, is the
beginning of the following Orations, which Solomon
calleth Artem Novam.
These Orations may be said before all Arts
generally, and before all Notes specially; And they
may be pronounced without any other Chapters, if
thou wouldst operate in any of the aforesaid Arts,
saying these Orations in due time and order; thou
maist have great efficacy in any Art. And in saying
these Orations, neither the time, day, nor , are to be absque alijs capitulis de ipsa arte prfata
observed: but take heed, that on these dayes you
abstain from all sin, as drunkenness, gluttony,
especially swearing, before you proceed thereunto,
that your knowledge therein may be the more cleer
and perfect.
Wherefore Solomon saith, When I was to
pronounce these Orations, I feared lest I should offend
God; and I appointed unto my self a time wherein to
begin them; that living chastly, I might appear the
more innocent.
[91] These are the Proaemiums of these Orations,
that I might lay down in order every thing whereof
thou maist doubt, without any other definition. And
before thou begin to try any of these subtile works, it
is good to fast two or three dayes; that it may be
divinely revealed, whether thy desires be good or evil.
These are the precepts appointed before every
operation; but if thou doubt of any beginning, either
of the three first Chapters, or of the four subsequent
Arts, that thou maist have the effect of perfect
knowledge; if thou consider and pronounce the
Orations, as they are above described, although thou
overpass somthing ignorantly; thou maist be
reconciled by the spiritual virtue of the subsequent
Orations.

The Angel said of these Orations to Solomon: See
the holiness of these Orations; and if thou hast
transgrest any therein presumptuously or ignorantly,
say reverently and wisely these Orations, of which the
great Angel saith: This is a great sacrament of God,
which the Lord sendeth to thee by my [92] hand; at the
veneration of which sacrament, when King Solomon
offered with great patience before the Lord upon the
Altar, he saw the book covered with fine linen, and in
this book were written 10 Orations, and upon every
Oration the sign of golden Seal: and he heard in his
Spirit, These are they which the Lord hath figured,
and are far excluded from the hearts of the unfaithful.
Therefore Solomon trembled lest he should offend
the Lord, and kept them, saying it was wickedness to
reveal them to unbelievers: but he that would learn
any great or spiritual thing in any Art or necessary
Science, if he cannot have a higher work, he may say
these Orations at what time soever he will; the three
first, for the three first liberal Arts; a several Oration
for every several Art, or generally all the three for the
three Arts are to be said; and in like manner the four
subsequent Orations, for four other liberal Arts. And
if thou wouldst have the whole body of Art, without
any definition of time, thou maist pronounce these
Orations before the several [93] Arts, and before the
Orations and Notes of these Arts, as often as thou
wilt, fully, manifestly and secretly; but beware that
thou live chastly and soberly in the pronounciation
thereof.
This is the first Oration of the 10, which may be
pronounced by its self, without any precedent work to
acquire Memory, Eloquence and understanding, and

When you would operate, have respect to the
Lunations: they are to be chosen in those moneths,
when the Rules in and , in these
moneths you may begin.
In the Name of the Lord beginneth this most Holy
Art, which the most high God Administered to
Solomon by his Angel upon the Altar, that thereby
suddenly in a short space of time, he was established
in the knowledge of all Sciences; and know, that in
these Orations are contained all Sciences, Lawful and
unlawful; First, if you pronounce the Orations of
Memory, Eloquence, [112] and understanding, and the
stability thereof; they will be mightily increased,
insomuch that you will hardly keep silence; for by a
word all things were Created, and by the virtue of that
word all created beings stand, and every Sacrament,
and that Word is God. Therefore let the Operator be
constant in his faith, and confidently believe, that he
shall obtain such knowledge and wisdome, in the
pronouncing these Orations, for with God nothing is
impossible: therefore let the Operator proceed in his
work, with faith, hope, and a constant desire: firmly
believing; because we can obtain nothing but by faith;
Therfore have no doubt in this Operation, whereof
there are three species whereby the Art may be
obtained.
The first species is Oration, and reason of a Godly
mind, not by attempting a voyce of deprecation, but
by reading and repeating the same in the inward parts.
The second species is fasting and praying, for the
praying man God heareth. The third species is
chastity; he that would operate in this Art, let him be
clean and chast by [113] the space of nine dayes at
least; and before you begin, it is necessary that you
know the time of the . for in the prime of the . it
is proper to operate in this Art: and when you begin so
sacred an Art, have a care to abstain from all mortal
sins, at least while you are proceeding in this work
until it be finished and compleated: and when you
begin to operate, say this verse kneeling:
Lift up the light of thy Countenance upon
me, Oh Lord my God, and forsake not me
thy servant N. that trusts in thee:
Then say three times Pater Noster, &c. And assert
http://www.esotericarchives.com/notoria/notoria.htm
Si vis operari, necesse est inspicere
lunationes. Isti menses sunt eligendi, in
quibus regnat in , vt Augustus,
Iunius, Iulius, & ente in
in istis signis incipias.
IN Nomine Domini incipit
ARS sanctissima, quam Altissimus
DEVS Salomoni super altare per Angelum
ministrauit, vt per eam subit, & per breue
tempus in omni scientia fundaretur, & scias,
in his orationibus contineri scientias licitas &
illicitas. Prim, si orationes pertinentes ad
memoriam & eloquentiam & intelligentiam,
& ad illorum stabilitatem protuleris,
augebunt ea omnia, ita qud vix linguam
reseruare poteris: quoniam omnia in solo
verbo creata sunt, & solo verbo stant omnia
creata, & omne sacramentum, & Deus est
ipsum verbum. Credat ergo operans posse
haberi tantam scientiam & sapientiam [627]
in proferendis orationibus his, quia petenti
firma fide, omnia possibilia apud DEVM, vt
obtineat. Item operans procedat in opere,
fide, spe, & desiderio, scilicet quod habeat
firmam spem, rectam fidem, charitatem
perfectam, & magnum desiderium firmiter
credendo, quia nihil habemus nisi per fidem.
Ideo non est dubitandum in huius artis
operatione. Et sunt tres species, per quas hc
ars potest haberi.
Prima species est Oration. & est pi
mentis ratio, in vocem deprecationis non
tentando, sed legendo in sua interiora
prorumpens. Secunda species est ieiunium,
& orantem exaudi DEVS hominem. Tertia
species est castitas, qui vult hanc artem
operari, videat qud sit ad minus mundus ad
operis implementum per nouem dies. Ante
artis inceptionem, cm in primis operari vis,
necesse est vt possis cognoscere Lunam
primam, quando videlicet Luna est in tactu
primo, tunc in ista arte est. Vide ergo quando
incipis operari duos ante mansionem, & ad
suscipiendum tam saetatissimum opus, &
confitearis quamt melius poteris creatori, &
vlterius debes cauere peccatis mortalibus:
& ad minus dum procedis in isto opere,
donec opus compleatur, & dum inceperis
operari, dic flexis genibus hunc versum:
Illumina Domine vultum tuum
super me Domine deus meus, &
non derelinquas me N. sperantem
in te.
Et dic tribus vicibus Pater noster. Et tunc

that thou wilt never commit wilfull perjury, but
alwayes persevere in faith and hope. This being done,
with bended knees in the place wherein thou wilt
operate, say,
Our help is in the Name of the Lord, who
hath made Heaven and earth: And I will
enter into the Invocation of the most high,
unto him who enlightneth and purifieth my
Soul and Conscience, which dwelleth
under the help of the most high, and
continueth under the protection of the God
of Heaven: O Lord open and unfold the
doubts of my Heart, and [114] change me
into a new man by thy love: be thou Oh
Lord unto me true faith, the hope of my
life, and perfect charity, to declare thy
wonders. Let us pray:
Then say the Oration following:
Oh God my God, who from the
beginning hast Created all things
out of nothing, and reformest all
things by thy Spirit; restore my
Conscience, and heal my
understanding, that I may glorify
thee in all my thoughts, words and
deeds; through him who liveth and
reigneth with thee forever, Amen.
Now in the Name of Christ, on the first day of the
Month, in which thou wouldst acquire Memory,
Eloquence and Understanding, and stability thereof,
with a perfect, good and contrite heart, and sorrow for
thy sins committed; thou maist begin to pronounce
these Orations following, which appertain to the
obtaining of Memory and all Sciences, and which
were composed and delivered by the Angel to
Solomon, from the hand of God.
The first and last Oration of this art, is Alpha and
Omega: Oh God omnipotent, &c. [115]
This following is an Oration of four Languages,
which is this:

out and dig up minerals and treasure; this was
revealed by the Heavenly Angel in this Notory Art.
For this Art doth also declare things to come, and
rendereth the sense capable of all arts in a short time,
by the Divine use thereof.
We are to speak also of the time and place. First
therefore, all these precepts are to be observed and
kept; and the Operator ought to be clean, chaste, to
repent of his sins, and earnestly desire to cease from
sinning as much as may be; and so let him proceed,
and every work shall be investigated into him, by the
divine ministery.

When thou wilt operate in the new Moon, kneeling
say this verse: Lift up the light of thy Countenance
upon us, Oh God, and forsake us not, Oh Lord our
God.1 Then say three times the [117] Pater Noster:
And afterwards let him vow unto God, that he will
never commit wilfull perjury, but alwayes persist in
[the Catholic]2 faith. This being done, at night say
with bended knees before thy bed, Our help is in the
Name of the Lord, &c.3 and this Psalm; Whoso
dwelleth under the shadow of the wings of the most
high,4 to the end; and the Lords Prayer, and the Prayer
following.

Some other precepts to be observed in this work.
Fast the day following with bread and water, and
give Almes; if it be the Lord's day, then give double
Almes; be clean in body and mind; both thy self, and
put on clean Cloaths. [119]
The processe follows.
When thou wilt operate concerning any difficult
Probleme or Question, with bended knees, before thy
bed, make Confession unto God the Father; and
having made thy Confession, say this Oration.
Send Oh Lord thy wisdome to assist
me, that it may be with me, and
labour with me, and that I may
alwayes know what is acceptable
before thee; and that unto me N.
may be manifested the truth of this
question or Art.
This being done, Thrice in the day following, when
thou risest, give thanks to God Almighty, saying,
Glory and honour, and benediction be unto him that
sitteth on the Trone, and that liveth for ever and ever,
Amen. with bended knees and stretched out hands.
But if thou desirest to understand any book, ask of
some that hath knowledge therein, what that book
treateth of: This being done, open the book, and read
in it; and operate as at first three times, and alwayes
when thou goest to sleep, write [, and afterwards,]
Alpha and Omega, [120] and afterwards sleep on thy
right side, putting the palme of thy hand under thy
Ear, and thou shalt see in a dream all things thou
desirest; and thou shalt hear the voyce of one
informing and instructing thee in that book, or in any
other faculty wherein thou wilt operate: And in the
morning, open the book, and read therein; and thou
shalt presently understand the same, as if thou hadst
studyed in it a long time: And alwayes remember to
give thanks to God, as aforesaid.
Afterwards on the first day say this Oration:
Oh Father, Maker of all Creatures;
by thy unspeakeable power
wherewith thou hast made all

from all adversity of Soul and Body,
Amen. Of the Son say, O Christ,
Son of the living God, who art the
splendor and figure of light, with
whom there is no alteration nor
shaddow of change; Thou Word of
God most high, thou wisdome of
the Father; open unto me, thy
unworthy servant N. the veins of thy
saving Spirit, that I may wisely
understand, retain in Memory, and
declare [121] all thy wonders: Oh
wisdome, who proceedest out of the
mouth of the most high, powerfully
reaching from end to end, sweetly
disposing of all things in the World,
come and teach me the way of
prudence and wisdome. Oh Lord
which didst give thy Holy Spirit to
thy Disciples, to teach and
illuminate their Hearts, grant unto
me thy unworthy servant N. the
same Spirit, and that I may alwayes
rejoyce in his consolation.
Other precepts.
Having finished these Orations, and given Almes,
when thou entrest into thy Chamber, devoutly kneel
down before thy bed, saying this Psalm: Have mercy
upon me, O God, according to the multitude of thy
great mercies, &c.1 and, In thee Oh Lord have I
trusted, &c.2 [as is customarily read during the
evening prayer service.] Then rise up, and go to the
wall, and stretch forth thy hands, having two nayles
fixed, upon which thou maist stay up thy hands, and
say this Prayer following with great devotion:
O God, who for us miserable sinners didst
undergo the painful death upon [122] the
Crosse; to whom also Abraham offer'd up
his son Isaac; I thy unworthy servant, a
sinner perplexed with many evils, do this
day offer up and Sacrifice unto thee my
Soul and Body, that thou maist infuse into
me thy Divine wisdome, and inspire me
with the Spirit of Prophesy , wherewith
thou didst inspire the Holy Prophets.
Afterwards say this Psalm; Oh Lord incline thine

Then add this Psalm: Et subiunge Psal. Ad te Domine leuaui Ps. 25 (Vulgate

"Unto thee Oh Lord do I lift up my Soul: Oh my excepto illo versu, Confundantur. [632] verse 3 (Vulgate

http://www.esotericarchives.com/notoria/notoria.htm 68/75
16/7/2017 Ars Notoria: the Notory Art of Solomon
Confundantur, &c.
Having fulfilled these things upon the wall,
descend unto thy Bed, writing in thy right hand Alpha
and Omega: then go to bed, and sleep on thy right
side, holding thy hand under thy right Ear, and thou
shalt see the greatness of God as thou hast desired.
And in the morning, on thy knees, before thy bed,
give thanks unto God for those things he hath revealed
to thee:
I give thanks unto thee, Oh great
and wonderful God, who hast given
Salvation and knowledge of Arts
unto me thy unworthy servant N.
and confirm this Oh God, which
thou hast wrought in me, in
preserving me. I give thanks unto
thee, O powerful Lord God, who
createdst me miserable sinner out of
nothing, when I was not, and when I
was utterly lost; not redeemed, but
by the precious blood of thy Son
our Lord Jesus Christ; and when I
was ignorant thou hast given unto
me learning and knowledge: grant
unto me thy servant N. O Lord
Jesus Christ, that through this
knowledge, I may be alwayes
constant in thy Holy service, Amen.
[125]
These operations being devoutly compleated, give
thanks daily with these last Orations. But when thou
wouldst read, study, or dispute, say,
Remember thy word unto thy
Servant, O Lord, in which thou hast
given me hope; this is my comforter
in humility. Then add these
Orations: Remember me O Lord of
Lords, put good words and speech
into my mouth, that I may be heard
efficaciously and and powerfully, to
the praise, glory, and honour of thy
glorious Name, which is Alpha and
Omega, blessed for ever, World
without end, Amen.
Then silently say these Orations.
O Lord God, that daily workest new
signs and unchangeable wonders,

Note, that if you desire to know any thing that you
are ignorant of, especially of any Science, read this
Oration: I confess my self to thee this day, O God the
Father of Heaven and Earth,1 [135] three times; and in
the end express for what you desire to be heard;
afterwards, in the Evening when you go to Bed, say
the Oration Theos throughout, and the Psalm Qui
Habitat,2 with this versicle, Emitte Spiritum; and go to
sleep, and take the Figure for this purpose, and put it
under the right Ear: and about the second or third hour
of the night, thou shalt see thy desires, and know
without doubt that which thou desirest to find out: and
write in thy right hand Alpha and Omega, with the
sign of the Cross, and put that hand under thy right
Ear, and fast the day before; only once eating such
meat as is used on fasting dayes.
