    Abstract:
    The letter squares are composed of the 257 polygram sequences from the fourth book of the »True Practice«, as they are given by the textual witness Cod. Guelf. 47.13 Aug. 4°. Few cautious conjectures which I make in the edition (»Des Abraham von Worms Buch der wahren Praktik von der alten Magie. Band 1 – Edition«. Hamburg 2020) are incorporated; not all symmetrical errors can be corrected. As to the assignment of the letter squares to the magical purposes in the fourth book and to the evil spirits' names in the third book of the »True Practice«, I refer to the edition.
