Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The object of this exercise is to evaluate the impact of the Tabula Recensa on the original system of Angelic Names and Words of Power recorded by Dee in that part of Sloane 3191 which was catalogued by Ashmole as the 'Book of Supplications and Invocations'. As the first set of Enochian Tablets in Casaubon are incomplete, and later instructions received for their rectification are confusing at best, the method of obtaining Dee's pre-Recensa working version of the Great Table was as follows: Note: the pre-Recensa Table given by Turner differs by only 2 letters, and in the rearrangement of the separate Tablets about the Black Cross. Neither this Table or the Recensa were the basis of the names recorded by Dee, Turner's footnote to the contrary notwithstanding. 1) The Tablets of the Tabula Recensa of 1587 were rearranged around the Black Cross in conformance with their earliest recorded orientation, with all characters upper-cased. 2) The names recorded in the 'Book of Supplications and Invocations' were then retro-fitted to their proper places on these Tablets, and any resulting changes recorded in lower case. The source of this information was Turner's _Elizabethan Magic_, which references Sloane 3191. 3) The few evident typographical errors in Turner were corrected before the names were fitted to the Tablets: LAOAXRP is given as Laoxrp, which is short one letter. SLGAIOL is given as Lgaial or Slgaich, neither of which agree with the included characters from the 5-lettered name of God. MTA is given as Mto, differing from Ta(g)co on the same line. CPA is given as Cfa, differing from Pa(t)ax on the same line. MRX is given as Mvx, differing from Rx(p)ao on the same line. ERN is given as Era, differing from Rn(a)il on the same line. These mistakes also disagree with Geoffrey James' presentation. 4) A file was generated containing names extracted from the Tabula Recensa, with all letters upper-cased. 5) Another file was generated containing names extracted from the recreated Great Table, with all changes being apparent as lower case letters. 6) The 2 files were compared using 'diff', with these results: Note: The use of some of these Names as 'Archangels', or as 'Elemental Kings' is not found in Dee, to whom they were simply names of God, used by the Magus to enforce his will with those Called, being meant for the 'Kerubic Angels' and 'Seniors', respectively. Similarly, the Invoking and Commanding Names were not angelic entities, but also Names of Power, both meant for dealing with the 'Lesser Angels'. The 'Lesser' and 'Kerubic' designations of the Angelic entities themselves also postdates Dee. 'Seniors' was evidently used by Dee, but we might as well call Them ye Great Olde Ones. There were 28 letters changed on 14 Tablet lines, changing 47 names. 1 Elemental King - God Name of Tablet 2 Commanding Angelic Names - horizontal of dependent cross 4 Invoking Angelic Names - vertical of dependent cross 4 Lesser Angelic Names - beneath the dependent cross horizontal arm 5 Seniors - from the Great Cross of each Tablet 11 Archangelic Names - containing a letter from the Black Cross 20 Kerubic Angelic Names - above the dependent cross horizontal arm 6 Archangelic Names were changed purely as the result of the rearrangement of the Tablets around the Black Cross in the Tabula Recensa; 2 more were changed in this way as well as by other character changes. Note: The planetary and elemental associations used in the following summary are those of the Golden Dawn, have no relevance to the work of John Dee in his 'Book of Supplications and Invocations', and are used here purely as a matter of referential convenience. All names containing lower case letters are from the re-created Great Table; lower.UPPER case pairs refer to the recreated vs. the Recensa characters, respectively.

In both cases, James' indication of the character is consistent with his Tabula Recensa, although the _Mysteria Magica_ reads the 'p' in Arinnap as well for the Recensa, rather than James' 'q'. The latter reading seems more likely, and is used here. The 'x' in Soaixnt is consistent with Dee's first Table, recorded in Casaubon. Also, Alndood is given in James as Alndvod, which disagrees with Turner as well as James' own reconstructed Table, though it agrees with the Tabula Recensa, and is evidently a typo.
