Blech, another quarter with no updates. Mostly I've been getting sidetracked, and I also needed to do a computer rebuild in August when my hard drive died (not much actually lost, fortunately). Only managed a few more pages of Trithemius Redivivus (there are a lot of unfamiliar abbreviations used and the scribe was frequently very lax in crossing 't's -- the same thing that got us "Seal of Adonay" in the Goëtia). Debating posting the bits of 3824 that I *have* finished (fol. 3-79, 89-120), but this has a great deal of overlap with the parts already published in David Rankine's Book of Treasure Spirits.
The project that I'm provisionally titling "On the Invocation of Angels," to comprise typesets of the angel-magic / crystallomancy texts from Sloane MSS. 3821 and 3825 (i.e., the Clavicula Tabularum Enochi, Janua Magica Reserata, the "Operations of the Angles of the Aire," "Celestial Confirmations of Terrestrial Observations," and "A Select Treatise" (the latter two being invocations of planetary angels and Intelligences) is currently still in the vague "wish list" category, since large parts of my copies of the MSS. are completely unreadable.
