Which work? Which edition? Which witness?
Named bibliographic anchors for clearer study of the Key, the Testament and the broader Solomon tradition.
Mathers · Key of Solomon
Wellcome catalogues the George Redway, London publication and provides a Public Domain Mark for its identified copy. The edition’s preface describes manuscript comparison and editorial interventions. Its date belongs to that publication.
Cleveland · Key of King Solomon
The institutional record identifies a French-to-English translation associated with George Graham. It is a separately dated witness, rather than the same object as the later Mathers print.
Belfast · Clavicula Salomonis
Queen’s University Belfast describes a pseudepigraphical Clavicula and discusses its manuscript grouping. This is a discovery route; a full transcription and passage-by-passage collation were not completed for this gateway.
Conybeare · Testament of Solomon
The Jewish Quarterly Review, volume 11, number 1, pages 1–45. This bibliographic date identifies the translation’s publication and does not settle the composition date of every textual layer.
The Key app’s compilation is another layer
The interactive app holds a supplied 574-page collection with its own source notes, extracted text, images and a working Modern English adaptation. That compilation’s page numbers are useful within the app. They are not the original pagination of every historical work included in it, and the wording draft is not a new original-language manuscript translation.
What the next comparison should record
Identify the holding institution and complete shelfmark, then the work and the selected passage. Add the physical date, source language, editor, translation, figure reference and access conditions. If a modern drawing differs from a manuscript, retain both readings and the explanation for the change. An elegant reconstruction should not erase an uncertain original.
A source link is a beginning
A public catalogue record confirms the facts it actually supplies. It does not prove that all pages have been read, all images are available or all translations are accurate. Each further reading should record its scope. The institution desk keeps outgoing questions, reviewed responses and unresolved issues visible.
Learning in the Light
In Babylon, the Father’s light opens perspective, learning and a chosen next step. Your worth remains intact. Every person is sovereign, with dignity, freedom and room to grow.
