Listeners, get ready to learn about a previously unknown version of the Almandal of Solomon dating from the 13th century, with medieval scholar, author and researcher, Vajra Regan! Let me repeat that, especially those who are familiar with the “Art Almadal” one of the five books of the Lemegeton - this is a very early and radically different version of the Almandel, and Vajra is here to share his thoughts on this, which he condensed into a marvelous 60-page article he wrote for the Journal of Medieval Latin! We talk about it’s relation to medieval lapidaries, the “Ars Notoria”, and how it was influenced by Arabic texts pouring into Europe!
