Subject, Features:    

         --  The Epistle Dedicatory. To his Ingenious and respected friend Mr. William Ryves, of St. Saviours, Southwark, Student in Physic and Astrology. SIR. The deep inspection and dove-like piercing Eye of your apprehension into the deepest Cabinets of Natures Arcana’s, allures me (if I had no other attractive Magnetic engagements,) to set this Optic before your sight: not that it will make any addition to your knowledge; but by the fortitude of your judgment, be walled against the art-condemning and virtue-despising Calumniators. I know the candour of your Ingenuity will plead my excuse, and save me from that labour; resting to be Your real affectionate Friend, Robert Turner. (Excerpt from the book itself) 

          --  The Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis or simply Lemegeton, is an anonymous grimoire on demonology. It was compiled in the mid-17th century, mostly from materials a couple of centuries older. It is divided into five books—the Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia-Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria.

The oldest known portion of the Lemegeton, the Ars Notoria or Notory Art, was first mentioned by Michael Scot in 1236, and thus was written earlier. The Ars Notoria contains a series of prayers, related to those in The Sworn Book of Honorius, intended to grant eidetic memory and instantaneous learning to the magician. Some copies and editions of the Lemegeton omit this work entirely;it is also known as the Ars Nova.

The Latin term goetia refers to the evocation of demons or evil spirits. In medieval and Renaissance Europe, goetia was generally considered evil and heretical, in contrast to theurgia (theurgy) and magia naturalis (natural magic), which were sometimes considered more noble.

About the Author:

TURNER, ROBERT (fl. 1654–1665), astrologer and botanist, was born at ‘Holshott’ and matriculated from Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1636, graduating B.A. in 1639–40. In 1654 he published ‘Mikrokosmos. A Description of the Little-World. Being a Discovery of the Body of Man,’ London, 8vo. In 1657 he issued ‘Ars Notoria: the Notary Art of Solomon,’ London, 8vo, an astrological treatise, and in 1664 ‘Botanologia. The Brittish Physician: or, The Nature and Vertues of English Plants,’ London, 8vo, a work chiefly devoted to the medicinal virtues of herbs, but containing much curious incidental information. A new edition with a portrait of Turner appeared in 1687. Turner's latest preface is dated from London in 1665, and it is possible that he was one of the victims of the plague in that year.    -- Source: Wikisource --
