Ars Notoria: the Method is the practical key to the Ars Notoria. This key brings all the parts you need together so this ancient system can now be used to memorise and master subjects in the shortest space of time. Each ‘operation’ has its own chapter which brings together the prayers, orations and nota needed for each subject. The Ars Notoria is a unique Mediaeval grimoire designed to assist monks (or anyone) to learn whole subjects in as short a time as a month, through the intervention of angels. It has procedures for vastly improving memory, learning speed and understanding, such that a single reading of a complex text will enable it to be absorbed and understood. The procedure consisted of orations or invocations which will assist the aspirant in these feats of memory. These are read or chanted whilst the aspirant looks at a “nota,” a complex design which encapsulates the essence of the desired subject. The oldest manuscript of the Ars Notoria dates from 1225. This volume allows you to actually use this amazing system.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Ars Notoria is a mediaeval grimoire which was widely distributed and very popular in the 13th-16th century, but virtually unknown until recently. Version B (MS Bibliothèque Nationale Lat. 9336.) is a commentary on the Method which has never been published in English before. The present text is a reorganisation of that commentary into subject order without the loss of any practical detail. All the notae and the full invocations/orations are included, but most of the Latin prayers have been omitted as they do not contribute to the methods effectiveness. The Ars Notoria is still very relevant in the 21st century because it contains detailed techniques to enable the practitioner to absorb whole subjects very rapidly, and to understand very complex subjects on first reading, as well as remembering whatever has been read. Like many magic manuscripts this work was attributed to famous individuals including Solomon (who reputedly received the book directly from God via the angel Pamphilius), which was translated into Greek by the magician Apollonius of Tyana, along with input from Euclid of Thebes, the father of Honorius of Thebes the author of The Sworn Book of Honorius (Liber Juratus) and Mani, the prophet. Solomonic grimoires are concerned with the evocation of spirits or demons, but the Ars Notoria stands alone as angel magic concerned only with memory and the ability to understand and absorb whole subjects rapidly, making it a veritable student''s grimoire, a key to obtaining knowledge rapidly. Despite its popularity and enduring history the Ars Notoria has never been printed in its complete form. After its early Latin appearance there was only one incomplete English translation by Robert Turner in 1657, and that omitted the most vital component for its operation, the notae, a set of complex pictorial illustrations, without which the system just does not work. It also abbreviated most of the orations/invocations. The present edition contains all the notae matched with all the complete invocations/orations, and instructions for their use.
