Where this comes from

The Key of Solomon is the best known of the Renaissance grimoires, surviving in dozens of manuscripts in Latin, French, Italian and Hebrew. Mathers made his 1889 edition from seven manuscripts in the British Museum, and it is his plates that every later reproduction of these pentacles descends from.

The Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis), translated and edited by S. Liddell MacGregor Mathers (London: George Redway, 1889). The text and the pentacles are in the public domain.

The pentacle is traced from the plate in the De Laurence edition of 1914 (Chicago: De Laurence, Scott & Co.), which reprints Mathers' plates at a larger size, and checked line for line against the 1889 printing.

Mathers' note: In the upper left corner is the Magical Seal of Jupiter with the letters of the Name IHVH. In the others are the Seal -of the Intelligence of Jupiter, and the Names Adonai and IHVH.—Around it is the Versicle from Psalm cxxv. 1:—“A Song of degrees. They that trust in 1HVH shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth HOW evel.”
