Achterflaptekst:

For the first time, the three great magical works of King Solomon are together in one volume. The Greater and Lesser Keys give a practical guide to the operation of his magic. The testament gives a historical account of its use by Solomon himself.

The Greater Key of Solomon was researched and translated from ancient manuscripts in British libraries by SL. MacGregor Mathers in 1889. Traditionally, the work is divided into two books. Book One explains the operation of conjurations, spells and other magical works found in its pages. Book Two instructs the practitioner on the proper attire, purification and rituals needed for obtaining results.

The Lesser Key, is a compilation of ancient writings making up a text book of magick. Portions of the book are traced to the mid-16th to 17th centuries, when occult researchers such as Cornelius Agrippa and Johannes Trithemisus assembled discoveries made during their own investigations into the occult. The original editor was a G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F. He translated the text from French, Hebrew, and Latin, but was unable to complete his labors because of martial assaults from the Four Great Princes. Crowley was asked to step in and finish the work in progress.

The Testament is a pseudepigraphical work attributed to King Solomon. Written in the first-person narrative, the book tells how Solomon created his magic ring and used it to bind and control demons, including Beelzebub. Discourses between Solomon and various spirits are recorded, and King Solomon details how he withstood their tricks and guile and even enlisted their aid to build his famous temple.
