You're right compared to the burnings in Europe these aren't a lot, BUT they were more than should have been allowed.

I looked it up and the book to which you are referring is actually the *Lesser* Key of Solomon, which I don't have in my library, nor have I ever seen a copy. Both books have been called the Legamaton, but is the Lesser Key that is properly referred to by that name. According to Indris Shah, the Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon have been in existance in one form or another for provably over 2000 years and evidence exists for assuming they are of ancient Babylonian/Sumerian descent - they are authentic. But it is unknown how much the texts have been corrupted over the years and by different translators. Mathers translated from a Greek manuscript (which is a translation of a Hebrew manuscript) that is in the British Museum. Mather's translation is probably the best known and most widely available. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Nightshade Area: MagickNet To: Graham Jenkins 20 Aug 92 20:33:00 Subject: Introduction UpdReq Hail and well met...glad to have you aboard!
