dc.description.abstractThis master thesis The Sworn Book of Honorius deals with the medieval literary tradition of the Liber iuratus Honorii. The text of the Liber iuratus Honorii is a handbook on ceremonial magic, and is concerned with the invocation and conjuration of spirits. In the manuscript text, a magical ritual is described for the attainment of a vision of God (Visio Dei) with the help of a magical seal (Sigillum Dei). The text of the Liber iuratus Honorii is present in nine medieval manuscripts and can be divided in two literary traditions: The Southern and the Northern tradition. One of these manuscripts contains an English translation called The Sworn Book of Honorius. In this thesis, I have edited the manuscript text of the MS. Royal 17 A xlii from the British Library in London to a reliable and readable edition of the English text The Sworn Book of Honorius. In addition, I have done research on the historical background and manuscript content of the Liber iuratus Honorii and The Sworn Book of Honorius.en_US
