In this episode I am joined by Matthias Castle, the forthcoming translator of the new English edition of the Ars Notoria. We establish the historical tradition and textual evolution of the Notary Art, from its origins with Apollonius of Tyana's Flores Aurei & the angel Pamphilius all the way down to the Summa Sacrae Magicae & De Arte Crucifixi.

Matthias is an independent scholar of classical studies, medieval history, and the Western esoteric tradition. After graduating from Emory & Henry College with a degree in religious studies and philosophy, Castle’s Latin expertise, rich historical understanding, and keen research skills developed into the more than twenty-year ambitious investigation and translation project that resulted in his new book Ars Notoria: The Notory Art of Solomon, coming out November 28th with Inner Traditions.

The 13th-century magical treatise offers a secret account of the sacred angelic magic revealed to King Solomon. This new complete translation
features both the short and long versions (A, A2 & B) based on Julien Veronese’s critical Latin edition and includes all of the original figures (notae), essential for inspection during ritual.

You can connect with Matthias on his website at www.matthiascastle.com and I recommend you read his blog on the topics discussed in this video.

His book is released November 28th and can be found in most bookstores & online retailers. Check it out here: https://www.innertraditions.com/books...
