The False Monarchy of Demons Deluxe Edition

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 Monarchy of Demons Deluxe Edition" was produced as an imitation leatherbound volume. This 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 black and white and full-color illustrations, each providing a unique vision of these infernal beings.The Deluxe Edition improves on previous editions with new artwork and larger fonts. The complete text has been re-edited and layout updated for easier reading. The index has been redesigned, and new full-color artwork included. Each octavo volume is bound in red and black imitation leather with gold foil embossing. The English text is shown in black, side-by-side with the original Latin text in red. This volume 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 The Infernal Dictionary.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.
