Summary:
Brief text on magic, with a caption title indicating that it is the first chapter of an unidentified work, seemingly a companion to the Clavicula Salomonis (Ms. Codex 1054). Includes tables of symbols for planets and angels, incantations, and descriptions of rituals. The unusual small, horizontal format may be due to the esoteric or clandestine nature of the text.
