"Arbatel de magia veterum (English: Arbatel of the magic of the
ancients) is a treatise on ceremonial magic written in Latin, first
published in 1575 in Basel, Switzerland. The author is unknown, but
textual evidence suggests that the author was Italian."

Wikipedia suggests that it's historically correct, AND maybe it's
another way to get the students to learn another subject....

Casting a spell? learn Latin!
