The False Hierarchy of Demons: Illustrated English Translation of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum

Johann Weyer's "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum" is considered the great-granddaddy of demonic catalogues. Many later works, including Scot's "Discoverie of Witchcraft" and the Goetia, are considered derivatives of Weyer's classic. This edition of "The False Hierarchy of Demons: Illustrated English Translation of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum" was produced as an imitation leatherbound volume. This new definitive translation of Weyer's four hundred year old encyclopedic work of demonology includes digitally enhanced and enlarged versions of de Plancy's 19th century woodcuts from Dictionnaire Infernal, demonic seal reproductions and newly commissioned full-color illustrations from an international team of fantasy artists, each providing a unique modern vision of these infernal beings. Each octavo volume is bound in red imitation leather with a black imitation leather spine and gold foil embossing. The English text is shown in black, side-by-side with the original Latin text in red. In addition, the book has a new index, bookmark and full-color endpapers. The book is delivered in a designer box. The "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum" was originally published as an appendix to the hugely popular "De Prestigiis Daemonum." Since then, it has been used as the definitive reference and source for dozens of grimoires including The Lesser Key of Solomon and Dictionnaire Infernal. Natalia Zasadzinska is a professional translator and book author. Her previous works include translation of the first English translation of the full text of De Plancy's Infernal Dictionary.
