Classical Grimoires

Classical Grimoires

Over the years, regardless of my aspirations, one of my recurring interests is the Classical Grimoires. My library contains many of the Grimoires, but there are always going to be the books that are just out of reach, but the hunt is ongoing.

Are there any classical grimoires that anyone can suggest?

In my Collection I have the following grimoires,

The Greater Key Of Solomon, Mathers Edition
The Lesser Key Of Solomon, Joseph H Peterson Edition
The Goetia, Mathers/Crowley Edition
The Grimoire Of Armadel, Mathers Edition
The Fourth Book Of Occult Philosophy, Skinner Edition
The Book Of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin The Mage, Mathers ED
The Black Pullet

I would like to hear any suggestions for other grimoires, other editions, or even opinions on these fascinating pieces of occult history.

I'm happy to make comments on any of them if you'd like.

i don't know if they'd quite be considered grimoires, but i recommend The Sixth Book of Moses and The Seventh Book of Moses.
they are just tables/charts and their accompanying invocations...but from what i've so far discovered, they are powerful!
