Does the original sin affect the essence of man, the substance of man and destroy his likeness to God, or does it ultimately remain something external, an accident that leaves man with the ability to participate in his own justification? - This question is at the center of the so-called original sin dispute that broke out in the aftermath of the Weimar disputation of 1560 between Matthias Flacius Illyricus and Victorin Strigel. With the publication of Flacius' original sin treaty as part of his textbook "Clavis scripturae" in 1567, the discussion expanded into a heated argument among once-like-minded Lutheran theologians, which produced numerous pamphlets, which were broadcast in the congregations and in some cases were violently carried out. Even the formula of concord from 1577 could not completely settle the dispute, especially in Austria there were still communities that clung to Flacius' radical doctrine of original sin for a longer period of time.

Sepher Raziel (also called Liber Salomonis) is not the same as the Hebrew Sepher Raziel ha-Melakh. It is a full grimoire in the Solomonic tradition from a 1564 century English manuscript, derived from Latin sources. As such it is one of the earliest grimoires produced in this series. It begins with directions for making the parchment, pen and ink of Art, required to write the names. It contains seven separate Treatises: 1 - Liber Clavis which is concerned with astrology and its correct use in magic, something long forgotten by modern astrologers, with the precise interactions between planets, Signs and Houses; 2 - The Ala outlines in four sections the magical virtues of stones, herbs and beasts, and words; 3 - The Tractatus Thymiamatus explains why incense is essential to magical operations, and the effect of various incenses on the spirits, with a list of the key perfumes and suffumigations. An Appendix gives the modern and botanical names; 4 - The Treatise of Times gives details of the correct hours of the day and night for each operation, with associated angels and the proper names of the Sun, Moon and planets to be used in each season. This is something left out of almost all other grimoires; 5 - The Treatise on Purity explains the exact preparations, and the reasons for ritual purity; 6 - Samaim is a treatise on the seven Heavens, with the names of their angels; 7 - The Book of Virtues and Miracles is a treatise on the Semiforas, the names of God, and how they are to be used in invocation to produce miraculous results.
