Dictionnaire infernal by Jacques-Albin-Simon Collin de Plancy

A fascinating bit of work I nabbed for the art, and hang on to for the bizarre. Dictionary/encyclopedia sort of a thing, so not a straight read-through, but fascinating, and useful as a tool should one ever run across historical references.

Infernal Dictionary - Deluxe Edition by J. Collin de Plancy

Calling the Infernal Dictionary Deluxe Edition a book doesn’t do it justice. It’s not just a book, it’s a work of art. The Infernal Dictionary is 764 pages of demonology, occult, mythology, theology, and terrifying history. What makes the Infernal Dictionary so unique and sets it apart from all other encyclopedia / reference books on the occult is the quality of work put into restoring it from the original 1863 edition, the dozens of full-color portraits that bring this work to life in a haunting way that no other book has been able to match, and the sheer amount of knowledge that it contains.

This Deluxe Edition comes in a beautiful black box, and the Infernal Dictionary its self is broken up into two volumes. There are plenty of reference books on the occult on the market today. None compare to the Infernal Dictionary. It is a must have for every student of the occult, magick, demonology, and witchcraft. I’m going to have to update my Last Will and Testament. I’m taking this book with me to the grave.

It just went on sale. Get it now!… (more)
