It was based on the earlier Latin text, Liber Semiphoras (aka Semamphoras, Semyforas) attributed to Solomon, which Luppius augmented heavily with passages from Agrippa's De occulta philosophia and other sources.
[2] This book was attested in 1260 by Roger Bacon,[3] and mentioned by the Latin Liber Razielis (ms VRL 1300 2nd half of 14th ce, 36v).
The German text was later published by Johann Scheible in his Das Kloster, (Stuttgart and Leipzig, 1846.
3), and later included in his edition of the so-called Das sechste und siebente Buch Mosis, Achtente, sehr vermehrte Auflage, New York: Wm.
An English translation based on Luppius is included in Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses Peterson 2008 pp.
It was also drawn on heavily by Agrippa in his book On Occult Philosophy on which see the new edition by V. Perrone Compagni.
