Infernal Dictionary Deluxe Edition
Infernal Dictionary Deluxe Edition is the deluxe edition of the first full English translation J. Collin de Plancy's classic, Dictionnaire Infernal, 6th edition. An encyclopedic work of demonology, superstitions, folklore, mythology, and theology, Infernal Dictionary follows the tradition established by grimoires like The Lesser Key of Solomon in identifying and categorizing demons and occult figures.
The 6th edition of Dictionnaire Infernal, published by De Plancy in 1863, was the final and most comprehensive edition of his most renowned work. This edition was the first to include the now-famous series of demonic prints by M.L. Breton, which later became synonymous with the work.
This handsome two-volume boxed set is a full English translation of the 6th edition, with all 500+ prints digitally reproduced, additional research footnotes added by the translation team, and pages of new full-color prints which reimagine the demonic figures cataloged in this work. In addition, the Introductions to the prior editions (1818, 1825, 1844, and 1853), an English-French cross-reference of subject names and titles, and a complete index are all included.
Specs (new): Imitation leather (or real leather) hardcover with silver gilt lettering, case-bound quarto, two volumes in silver-stamped slipcase, ribbon bookmarks, patterned endpapers, shrinkwrapped.
