What this disclosure covers
Mirror text: imprint, introduction and selected pp. 23, 57–60, 98–99. The underlying PDF and complete manual were not inspected.
A publication year is not an established earliest disclosure date. For the mirrored manual, the dates of first online exposure and first inclusion of the selected prescriptions remain unestablished; exposure_publication describes the inspected posting, not proof of an unauthorized leak.
Read the mirror’s actual extracted text: imprint and collection introduction, and selected printed pp. 23, 57–60 and 98–99. The imprint claims editions in 2001, 2004 and 2007, carries a present-edition copyright of 2011 and repeating 2012 footers. No single edition_year is assigned. The site credits uploader Juan Perez, whose identity and authority are unverified. Direct capture failed DNS resolution; the web reader exposed the text, while the Download File link returned to the same page. No PDF bytes or hash are claimed.
The attribution is to a practitioner compilation, not to the file-sharing uploader. The introduction describes collected priestly manuscripts and comparison across houses; that is the compiler’s account, not an audited chain of custody. The mirror has not been compared against the publisher edition or the manuscripts and is not labelled an authenticated leak. Instruction, actual performance and claimed efficacy are separate questions.

Item notes
Scope is the actual initiation prescription, not an inference that every page is confidential. This text has not been collated with the publisher edition, its underlying libretas or a performed ceremony. The presence of an oath does not establish a specific nondisclosure clause; no current-practice or efficacy claim is made.
