The Sixth Book of Moses

Sixth Book of MosesBy Johann Scheibel"The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses are two grimoires allegedly dictated to Moses along with the Torah (the first five books of Moses).Published as volume 6 of "Bibliothek der Zauber-Geheimniss- und Offenbarungs-Bucher, etc." in 1849 in Stuttgart by antiquarian Johann Scheible, these books contain numerous allegedly magical spells used to summon spirits to do the will of the conjourer. Although these are allegedly Kabbalistic in nature, there is very little or no influence of Kabbala within the pages. The texts are allegedly translated from a text written in the Cuthan-Samaritan language, a language considered extinct since the 12th century. No manuscripts older than 1849 are to be found, and the claimed origin must be regarded pseudepigraphic and spurious.The included pictures of the "seals" consist of various stylized symbols surrounded pseudo-hebrew and pseudo-latin phrases and letters. The Latin language wasn't spoken in the area of Judea where Moses lived. The pictures of the seals are therefore by necessity of different origin than what is claimed."
