I am indebted for this manuscript to QiRui Huo,
as I am for the forthcoming one.
Manuscript Lat.18510 can be found

The title is Testamenti sive
claviculae Salomonis scientia enucleata ad
Roboam.
The note on its incipit, detailing what pages are
blank, is dated 22dn July 1870, so we can
presume an earlier date of redaction.
As Jeremie Segouin and Andy Foster have
communicated to me, it's becoming more and
more likely that this is just a vast collection of
pentacles that was attributed randomly to the 72
angels. This manuscript as we can observe,
contains an extra 2 from the canonical number.
Further study and comparing is necessary of
course. The present manuscript does not link
these pentacles to the angels.
Out of all the manuscripts so far, this is the
worst drawn example, in my opinion, but a
precious point of reference to tracing their
history. The numbering is my own.

Oh and, if you could stop publishing these graphics in your
books and making cheap talismans on etsy, without even
mentioning the source, It'll be great...
