Transcript
00:14After the Seven Sisters of Darkness had been bound, Solomon bade another demon to come before
00:21him. And there came a demon, having the body and all the limbs of a man, but without a head.
00:28And Solomon, seeing him, said to him, Tell me, who are you? And he answered, I am a demon.
00:37So Solomon said to him, Which are you? And he answered, I am called Envy, for I delight to
00:45devour heads, being desirous to secure for myself a head. But I never eat enough, and as I stand before
00:54you, I desire to have such a head as yours. Solomon, on hearing this, stretched out his
01:01hand against the demon's chest, and sealed him with the ring of God. The demon leapt up,
01:08and threw himself down, and gave a loud groan, saying, I am doomed. Where have I come to,
01:15O traitor Ornius? I cannot see. So Solomon said to him, I am Solomon. Tell me then how it is
01:25you
01:25manage to see, when you are without a head. And the demon answered, By the means of my feelings.
01:33And Solomon asked him, How do you manage to speak? And he answered, O king, I am holy voice,
01:42for I have inherited the voices of many. In the case of all men who are called dumb,
01:48it is I, who smashed their heads, when they were children, and had reached their eighth day.
01:55When a child is crying in the night, I become a spirit, and move by the means of his voice.
02:02Along the crossroads also do I pass, and whoever I encounter shall be harmed, for I grasp a man's
02:10head with my hands, and with a sword. I cut it off, and put it onto myself, and through my
02:17neck,
02:18it is consumed by the fire which burns inside me. I mutilate the dead in the graves, and inflict
02:25incurable sores on men's feet. And Solomon said to him, Tell me how you emit the fire? Out of what
02:34sources do you emit it? And the spirit said, From the day star, for here has not yet been found,
02:42the great demon Elberian, to whom men offer prayers and kindle lights. His true name is not known by men.
02:51He is invoked by the seven sisters, whom he greatly cherishes. Solomon said to him, Tell me his name.
02:59But the demon answered, I cannot tell you, for if I tell his name, I render myself incurable.
03:08He will come when he is called. And Solomon said to him, Tell me then, by what angel you are
03:15frustrated?
03:16And he answered, By the fiery flash of lightning, and the angel, I ex.
