Peterson's edition}, year = {2026}, url = {https://divinity.interactivelion.com/sources/the-sworn-book-of-honorius-liber-iuratus-honorii-joseph-h-petersons-edition}, note = {Accessed August 30, 2026} }Copy BibTeXJoseph Peterson's edition of the Sworn Book of Honorius is a critical scholarly edition, working from the surviving manuscripts of the text itself and testing the traditional ascription to Honorius of Thebes against other primary evidence, specifically the works of Pietro d'Abano, rather than repeating the ascription uncritically. That direct manuscript-based critical method, checkable against the specific pages and comparison it makes, is the edition's real evidentiary basis. This atlas cites it specifically for that critical introduction rather than for the magical text's own operative content. Use it for the documented critical assessment of the Honorius ascription and the manuscript tradition behind it; a claim about the text's own magical operations or theology needs the primary text itself addressed directly.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (94 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Joseph Peterson's critical scholarly edition of the Sworn Book of Honorius; its introduction tests Trithemius's ascription of the Theban alphabet to Honorius of Thebes against the works of Pietro d'Abano and against the manuscripts of the Sworn Book itself.NotesWell-attestedCited for the introduction, pages 13 and 14, which tests Trithemius's ascription of the Theban alphabet to Honorius of Thebes against the works of Pietro d'Abano and against the manuscripts of the Sworn Book.CitationAuthorWell-attestedHonorius of Thebes; Joseph H.
