-- The Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis or simply Lemegeton, is an anonymous grimoire on demonology. It was compiled in the mid-17th century, mostly from materials a couple of centuries older. It is divided into five books—the Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia-Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria.

The oldest known portion of the Lemegeton, the Ars Notoria or Notory Art, was first mentioned by Michael Scot in 1236, and thus was written earlier. The Ars Notoria contains a series of prayers, related to those in The Sworn Book of Honorius, intended to grant eidetic memory and instantaneous learning to the magician. Some copies and editions of the Lemegeton omit this work entirely;it is also known as the Ars Nova.

The Latin term goetia refers to the evocation of demons or evil spirits. In medieval and Renaissance Europe, goetia was generally considered evil and heretical, in contrast to theurgia (theurgy) and magia naturalis (natural magic), which were sometimes considered more noble.
