The excellent Rev. Michael Lux of the Luxumbrian Church, a Luciferian-Catholic line (FYI, not a member but I like them.) has fashioned a Cyprianic-GV Conjure working with Claunth / Clauneck.
From the nature of daimon, the ingredients and structure, this is a prosperity and wealth working.
It's really spot on for Conjure style working in the Iberian goetic tradition - with a pretty nifty Luciferian-Catholic liturgical aspect (think Solar Demiurge here, at least I do). Feels very, uh, American-New World Brujeria to me. Good stuff!
Rev. Lux is building on the Iberian - New World Cyrpianic folk magic tradition. He very smartly incorporates approaches from New World sorcery and Hoodoo such as "5 spotting." anointing clockwise the corners and c then the center to make a cross and a crossroads.
The best we can know at this time, s that the Grimorium Verum (GV), while a grimoire, is also a folk tradition - or traditions - spanning Italian, Haitian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese cultures.
The earlier proto-GV, as early as we can date it, is an Italian manuscript from 1636. The later French "Blue Book" version is the mid-18th-century "blockbuster" edition that spread across Europe. In more Spanish and Iberian cultures the Grimorium Verum was utilized, dismantled, and spead around, with elements appearing in the Libro Infernal (usually attributed to the monk Jonas Sufurino) and El Libro de San Cipriano (The Book of St. Cyprian).
Idries Shah’s has incomplete version of the Grimorium Verum in The Secret Lore of Magic (1957) is a notorious point of frustration for researchers. Shah often translated from French translations of Italian originals (or vice versa), losing nuance along the way step. This was the copy that found me one dark night at age 18, when a stranger I met at a party in Austin, Texas gifted me a copy. Wild times.
The point here being: the GV is not a single grimoire, but a living tradition distributed across centuries and continents. Just how far back its roots truly go remains the only real open question.

I'm glad people are interested in the Grimorium Verum again. I was not aware it was on anyone's radar much. I hope this unedited Yahoo Groups post from Conjureman Ali (albertgreat27 ) from 2011 will be useful to those starting to explore the Verum “system” as JSK would sometimes phrase it...
