It contains seven books: theClavis, concerned with astrology and its use in magic, with precise interactions between planets, Signs, and Houses; theAla, outlining the magical virtues of stones, herbs, and animals; the Tractatus Thymiamatus, which determines perfumes and suffumigations used in the Art; aTreatise of Times detailing the correct hours of the day for each operation; aTreatise on Preparations on ritual purity, and abstinence; Samaim, on the different heavens and their angels; and finally, aBook of Names and their virtues and properties, being seven semiforas of Adam and seven semiforas of Moses.
