This is the Mathers translation of the Goetia as edited and published by Aleister Crowley, the specific edition through which almost all modern readers encounter this text. This atlas states its limits plainly: it contains numerous alternate spellings of the spirit names for which no manuscript support has been identified, so it should not be treated as a critical text establishing the names' original forms. Use it for the content of this specific, widely read edition and for what this version of the text says; a claim needing the names' documented manuscript forms needs the manuscript tradition itself or a dedicated critical study of it.
