ACKNOWl£DG£M£NTS
I would like to thank the British Library for supplying
the copy of Sloane MS 3824 for me to work with. I would
like to thank Stephen Skinner, who continues to encourage
me and provide many hours of interesting discussion on the
subject close to our hearts that we write about together - the
grimoires. I would also like to thank Dan Harms for drawing
my attention to Folger MS Vb 26. Finally, my thanks and
appreciation to my beautiful wife Sorita who is my personal
treasure, providing me with sustenance and inspiration.
