Facsimile of the manuscript known as Tuba Veneris or the Trumpet of Venus...that is, the calling or arousal of the six spirits existing under the dominion of Venus, where the method of creating a Seal of Venus will be taught, as well as the trumpet through which to command them, the composition of a circle, the correct names of the spirits and their calls, their seals and preparation. This has often been attributed to John Dee though it remains doubtful that he was the author. The manuscript is reproduced in color, followed by the Latin transcription and an English translation. Numerous seals and sigils are included.
