Compendium Rarissimum anno 1057 (or anno 1775)
I have stumbled upon a rare grimoire dated to 1775. The book contains infernal rites of necromancy (they feel Satanic to me), but unfortunately the book is not yet translated from old German and Latin into English.
You may read this ancient grimoire here:

As in the book “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage”, this old manuscript contains the seals of 4 chief spirits: Lucifer, Satan, Leviathan and Belial.
I regard this grimoire as Satanic, because I myself call upon these 4 chief spirits (Princes of Hell) when I do my Satanic spiced rituals.
The 4 Princes of Hell (Lucifer = East; Satan = South; Leviathan = West; Belial = North) rule 8 sub Princes or Dukes.
Note: the source of this information regarding the names of the 4 chief Princes, 8 sub Princes and the 12 Elemental spirits found in Compendium Rarissimum is:
Mihai Vartejaru (http://studies-vartejaru.blogspot.se/2014/12/compendium-rarissimum-part-i.html)
So, the 8 sub Princes or Dukes are:
Astaroth (seal in Goetia and in Compendium Rarissimum)
Magoth (Magoth is mentioned in”The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage” too, and he is under the rule of Leviathan.
“The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage” is the source of these words:
“MAGOT:– May be from Hebrew MOVTH = small stones or pebbles; or from MG = a changing of camp or place; or from Greek, MAGOS, a magician. Usually written Maguth.”
After reading the word Maguth I started to comb Google for the seal of Maguth and found it. Mihai Vartejaru has the seal of Maguth on his website. Look here: http://studies-vartejaru.blogspot.se/2017/05/seals-of-seven-ministers.html
Maguth is the King spirit of Thursday (a lesser spirit of Air)
Asmoday (seal in Goetia and also in Compendium Rarissimum)
Beelzebuth (seal available in Grimoirium Verum and also in Compendium Rarissimum)
Oriens (no seal, but Oriens is called for Samael in the book “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage”, and the seal of Samael is available)
Paimon (seal in Goetia)
Ariton (no seal)
Amaymon (seal available in the Sworn book of Honorius)
These 8 sub Princes are found in the book “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage” and I will describe them here, but a little later, to shed light on the nature of Paimon and others.
The summary so far:
The 4 Princes of Hell are:
EAST QUARTER= LUCIFER ((RULES: ASTAROTH (seal +) AND ORIENS (seal -))
Note: Oriens is called Samael in “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage”.
SOUTH QUARTER = SATAN (RULES: ASMODAY (seal +) AND ARITON (seal -))
WEST QUARTER = LEVIATHAN (RULES: MAGOT/MAGUTH (seal +) AND PAIMON (seal +))
NORTH QUARTER = BELIAL (RULES: BEELZEBUTH (seal +) AND AMAYMON (seal +))
Source: “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage”.
Seal – = seal not available yet in my library of seals; seal + = seal available in my sources.
The Compendium Rarissimum Ritual Circle map
The picture (above) is a map of the ritual circle, which is “described” in the Compendium Rarissimum.
Red = the Crowned Princes of Hell. Blue = the 8 inferior Dukes who obey their Prince of Hell. Astaroth and Samael obey Lucifer.
The 12 Elemental spirits
The 12 Elemental spirits (Air = 3 seals; Fire = 3 seals; Water = 3 seals; Earth = 3 seals) are:
Morech (no mention of this spirit in the book”The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the mage”)
Nabhi (see the red text below)
the spirit Habhi (note: not Nabhi!) is mentioned in “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the Mage/Dover/ISBN-13: 978-0-486-23211-9, page 105, and Habhi is under rule of Amaymon
Tirama (see the red text below)
the spirit Tirana (Note: not Tirama!) is under rule of Paimon (source: “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the Mage”)
Nudaton (see the red text below)
the spirit Nuditon (Note: not Nudaton!) is under rule of Amaymon (source: “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the Mage”)
Zagrion
Carufur
Rigalon
Zugula (see the red text below)
(could it be the Goetic Vapula?) The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the Mage contains a spirit under the name Zagalo and he is under the rule of Asmoday. Can we equate Zagula with Zagalo?
Ramaison
Kilik (see the red text below)
(Kilik is mentioned in “The book of the sacred magic of Abramelin the Mage and Kilik is under rule of Ariton)
Sumuran
Allogiel
Conclusion:
The source of this information regarding the names of the 4 chief Princes, 8 sub Princes and the 12 Elemental spirits occuring in Compendium Rarissimum (those printed in black):
Mihai Vartejaru (http://studies-vartejaru.blogspot.se/2014/12/compendium-rarissimum-part-i.html).
I really hope that Mihai Vartejaru will translate Compendium Rarissimum into English very soon, because I believe that many Witches want to summon these spirits by the practice of these rites.
The seals of these 12 Elemental spirits are available in the Compendium Rarissimum, but we don’t know which seal to match to a particular Elemental spirit.
