The text of this electronic edition of
The
Greater
Keyof
Solomon
wastaken
fr
om
the Americanedition of
1916
published by
L.W. deLaurence.
It substantiallyduplicatesthat edition with the
following
exceptions:
•
Several
long, irrelevant interjections bydeLaurencehavebeenremoved, ashavehis self-promoting frontispiece and splashpages.
•
Thefootnotes havebeeneliminated ascontributing nothing of
significance
to
t
h
e
meaning ofthe text. Theyconsisted
largely
ofpompous
“
admonishments
”
by
deLaurence,
advertisements forhis products, and opaque source
n
o
t
es.
•
Where
possible,
illustrations havebeenmoved
close
to the placewheretheyarereferencedin the text.
•
The formatting has beenchanged to conform to modern

The scanned illustrations havebeen optimized for printing at 300 dpi; with somecombinations of computer monitor and driver software, the onscreen images mayappear
blocky
or cr

e.
For the best reading experience,I recommend printing this document on
no

glossy
paper tinted a light ecru or tan
