Brian's References:

Sophie Page has studied a whole collection of magical texts from the 14th-century library of St. Augustine's abbey, Canterbury; her PhD thesis on the topic is here (access with free registration): https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.340649 see also her published volume, Magic in the Cloister: https://www.psupress.org/books/titles/978-0-271-06033-0.html)

For a humongous and very colorful example of what a real medieval grimoire could look like, see the Summa Sacrae Magicae

Finally, one that we did mention, the Fasciculus Rerum Geomanticarum, at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (some translated excerpts of which I recently published as Necromancy in the Medici Library, available at all good booksellers)
