A sixteenth-century catalogue of demons
First published as an appendix to Johan Weyer’s 1563 work *De Praestigiis Daemonum*, *Pseudomonarchia Daemonum* catalogues demons and devils. This edition presents Reginald Scot’s English translation from 1583, placing the text within the early history of demonological writing and grimoire literature. Its historical framing is central: the book offers a record of how demonic figures were catalogued in a work that later became associated with the literature of grimoires and black magic.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Suitable for adults interested in historical demonology and religious texts.
- Relevant to readers studying the history of grimoires and black magic literature.
- A source for readers interested in Reginald Scot’s 1583 English translation.
