Liber Razielis Archangeli
Sefer Raziel HaMalakh

This book is full of many wonders, but it also hides many secrets. The name of the prince who sent it to me is Sameton, and the two wise men who brought it are named Kamazan and Zozont. The Latin name of the book comes from Angelus Magnus Secreti Creatoris, which in Hebrew means Cefar Raziel, the Great Angel, the secret creator. It was he who appeared to the first man Adam on God’s command, to teach him the knowledge of the power of thoughts, the soul, the laws of nature and life on Earth, including the secrets of the planets and stars. This is therefore Adam’s book, and it was written by King Solomon in Chaldean and translated into Hebrew. Whoever reads it should remember that it contains all the Semifores, the great names of God, supplemented by all their virtues and sacraments. Who sees and does not understand is blind and does not know colours,
Who hears and does not understand is deaf.
Who thinks and does not know thought is drunk.
Who speaks and does not say a thought is dumb.
Who reads books and does not understand them, wanders in dreams. I obtained this book divided into seven treatises, of which the first and the last are truly very dark, and the middle five are clearer, although in them I found many dark places and understood only as much as could be understood. The first treatise is called Clavis, the Key, for it explains astronomy and the stars, without which we can truly do nothing magical. The second is called Ala, the Wings, and in it, the virtues of individual stones, herbs and animals are gradually explained. The third is Tractatus Thymiamatum, the Treatise on Incense, where their classification, significance for suffumigation and methods of use are described. The fourth is Temporum Anni, the Treatise on the Seasons, Days and Nights, explaining when to do what according to this book. The fifth is Tractatus Munditia, the Treatise on Purity, for it explains the importance of abstinence. The sixth is called Samaim in Hebrew, the Heavens, for in this work all the heavenly spheres and the effects of their angels are named. The seventh is Liber Virtutum, the Book of Virtues, for it explains miracles, virtues, numbers and the properties of the magical ark.
