The Grimoire of Armadel or the most perfect, shortest and most infallible secret cabala science, as speculative as practised by Armadel.

The Arsenal Library in Paris considers that it was written around January 1701 (although the first pages are labelled July 1877). Samuel Liddell McGregor Mathers († 1854-1918) made an english translation of the manuscript which is preserved in the Arsenal Library (Ms 2494).

The presumed author of the original text was the famous and mysterious 'Armadel', whose name appears in the headings of many other manuscripts, such as Ms Lansdowne 1202 or Les véritables Clavicules du Roi Salomon Par Armadel.

This Christian Cabala grimoire has belonged to the Antoine-René d'Argenson (Marquis de Paulmy). The text is written in both Latin and old French. The manuscript is composed of 122 pages, in addition to pages A to D. It contains material from which the work entitled Opération des Sept Esprits des Planètes, is derived, unveiling the Art of invoking the seven Olympian Spirits.

A complete anastatic reprint of the original facsimile..

A long chapter is entirely devoted to the ritual of invocation of the Archangel Uriel, and to practice of a great Divination ritual (Oniromancy).

The Liber Armadel presented in a full english translation. This critical edition provides an unique insight into the original manuscript text substance. New essential elements are included in the book. Comparisons of the original texts from two manuscripts preserved in the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal in Paris.

The 7 Archangels' seals has been corrected and reproduced.
