The Clavicula Solomonis, also known as the Key of Solomon the King, was a manuscript that told of the power and design of the Philosopher's Stone.
History[]
The manuscript was found in the 13th century by the German Dominican priest known as Albertus Magnus. Magnus mirror-wrote a message on it which read:
- "This day from my longest journey have I returned.
That my actions meet with Heaven's plan, I can only pray. The course of the stone's fate I do inscribe here for safety's sake.
The heartfelt declarations of my disciple Thomas having persuaded me of my grievous errors. His destruction of the homunculus I welcomed.
However, having considered his well-founded fears, I could not countenance the destruction of the mighty stone entire.
I set my penance to guarantee the prevention of the stone's misuse.
The ecclesiastical sites having been chosen with great care, I set forth to plant the three parts of the mighty stone to the farthest gardens of Christendom -- and beyond." - ―Translation of Albertus Magnus's message on Clavicula Solomonis.[src]
At the behest of his devoted disciple, Thomas Aquinas, Magnus hid the scroll in Berlin where it was found hundreds of years later, in 1947, by Indiana Jones.
