Exploring The Arbatel Options

Has anybody worked with the Arbatel de magia veterum? I've been reading it and liked the way its a much 'barer' system than Goetia/Enochian. I think it divides the practice of magick into separate schools and links them to mythical founders (even Homer..who is linked with cacoedemons). Dee doesn't say much about it, though the book is contemporary and Dee references cacoedemons. He probably shared the Arbatel's ideal of a magician as "divinorum cultor & interpres". I think it sits closer to the Enochian rather than Goetic tradition... maybe it's an example of late Renaissance magick (the astrology is there)... I don't know enough about either.

Any experiences or ideas?

The grimoire stands well alone, so if there are any other books that have survived, they're probably enclosed mini-systems too. It would be great to see how everything united as a whole, though. It's interesting to think that Dee came into contact with the book not long before he began his own experiments with mystical magick... there's much about this text that deserves a deeper look. I plan to treat it practically too: so if you've attempted the rituals, I'd be interested to hear about that.
