One should always keep in mind that the books "The 6th and 7th Book of Moses," "The 8th and 9th Book of Moses," as well as this book, were created within their medieval context and reflect the customs of the people. At that time, two-thirds of the population worked in agriculture and crafts. Farmers were mostly unable to read or write. Therefore, customs were passed down orally. Nevertheless, the principles and treatment methods were also applied among the educated classes in the cities. Many of the superstitious rites and occult practices can be traced back to this day in a ritualized form. The treasures of tradition were mostly documented by monks who traveled the world. The books were all published anonymously under the name of the archmage "Moses.".
