Been slack & getting sidetracked as usual (e.g. creating & fiddling with the above design). In any case, all spirit characters from the Ars Theurgia-Goëtia have now been re-drawn.
Since there are notable differences in the orthography of the spirit seals even between the three Sloane Lemegeton texts, never mind later copies like Harley 6483 or Wellcome 3203 (the latter woefully incomplete anyway), I had to make a bunch of judgement calls redrawing them. One of these is to try to keep the style as uniform as possible throughout. While Sloane 3825 is probably the least corrupt Lemegeton MS. known, it still has a bunch of copyist errors in both text and figures, and style in the figures is uneven: as can be seen by the images posted by Peterson, some have very heavy line-work, leading in some cases to loss of details; others appear to have been drawn with a much thinner pen.
The planned appendices also mostly done: mainly just need to check the bibliography and actually finish the introduction.
