Next, the paper should cover the historical background of the Lemegeton. It's a Renaissance-era text, compiled in the 17th century by Johann Weyer. But there's some speculation about its origins. Some say it's based on earlier Hermetic texts, others on Arabic and Jewish mystical traditions. The Lemegeton was used by occultists like John Dee and is part of the Goetia tradition. The Goetia itself is part of the Lemegeton's Goetia (Book I).
