¶ In nomine Domini, amen. Incipit Summa sacre magice Magistri Berengari Ganelli philosophi.

In the name of the Lord, Amen. Here begins the Compendium of Sacred Magic of Berengar Ganell, master of philosophy.

Magica est scientia artandi spiritus malignos et benignos per nomen dei et per nomina sua, ac per nomina seculi rerum. Unde sequitur quod magica est scientia verborum, quia omne nomen est verbum, cum verbum sit omnis res que lingua profertur, si litteris scribi possit. Multe autem scientie sunt verborum, ut gramatica, logica, rectorica, magica, sed diversi mode, quia gramatica est de verbo quo ad congruitatem, et logica quo ad discernendum veritatem, et rectorica quo ad justitiam denotandum, sed magica est de verbo quo ad spiritualem substanciam coartandum.

Magic is the science of constraining good and evil spirits through the name of God, and through their own names, and through the names of the things of the world. From which it follows that magic is the science of words, because each name is a word, since a word can be anything which can be produced by the tongue, if it can be written in letters. Nevertheless there are many other sciences of words, such as grammar, logic, rhetoric, and magic, but they differ in various ways, because grammar seeks agreement about words, and logic is for discerning the truth, and rhetoric for observing justice, but magic is about the word that seeks to confine the spiritual substance.
