===The Testament of Solomon=== {{main|Testament of Solomon}} The ''Testament of Solomon'' is a [[pseudepigraphy|pseudepigraphical]] work, purportedly written by King [[Solomon]], in which the author mostly describes particular demons who he enslaved to help build the [[Solomon's Temple|temple]], the questions he put to them about their deeds and how they could be thwarted, and their answers, which provide a kind of self-help manual against demonic activity. The date is very dubious, though it is considered the oldest surviving work particularly concerned with individual demons.<ref>[http://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/testamen.htm ''The Testament of Solomon''], trans.
