The Concordance of Eliasch: How Do You Solve A Problem shot by Roy Duncan and Eliasch

Eliasch of Roy

The Concordance of Eliasch, or Liber (also Codex Sacer Juratus/Eliasch Sacratus/Consecratus Eliasche or Grimoire of Eliasch) is a medieval grimoire purportedly written by Eliasch of Roy. Its date of composition is uncertain, but it is mentioned asLiber Consecratus Eliasche in the 13th century, apparently asserting a high medieval date. Johannes Hartlieb (1456) mentions it as one of the books used in onieromancy. The oldest preserved manuscript dates to the 14th century, Sloane MS 2783 (fol 113-144). Sloane MS 235, dating to the late 14th or early 15th century, was once in the possession of John Dee. The book is one of the oldest existing medieval grimoires as well as one of the most influential. Or so I am told- it is almost impossible to find reliable information about it on the internet. It's almost like the thing was just sucked into thin air. I'm collecting information here about various grimoires and whatever else catches my fancy.
