Description

For example, among the more minor demons there is “Adramelech, great chancellor of the underworld, steward of the wardrobe of the sovereign of the demons, president of the high council of the devils”, who “showed himself in the form of a mule, and sometimes even that of a peacock”. He combined realistic details with fantastical elements, creating some of the most original and vivid depictions of demons ever made. Like many demonologists before him, de Plancy set out to create an accounting of demonic events and forces in his book, Dictionnaire Infernal. All together, across nearly six hundred pages, Collin de Plancy provided entries for sixty-five different demons, including favorites from the pages of Dante, Milton, and others, such as Asmodeus, Azazel, Bael, Behemoth, Belphégor, Belzebuth, Mammon, and Moloch.

One thing that should be added is a table of contents, you must flip through to look for a specific demon or go through an entire section of the book to see if their in it, adding a table of contents would make it much easier but an index could be written on the 2 blank pages at the end.By the end of 1830 he was an enthusiastic Roman Catholic, to the consternation of his former admirers. There is Eurynome, who has “long teeth, a frightful body full of wounds, and a fox skin for clothing. Grimoires exist”, he goes on, “because of the desire to create a physical record of magical knowledge, reflecting concerns regarding the uncontrollable and corruptible nature of .

He also participated in a scientific voyage to the South Pacific, where he observed and depicted the flora and fauna of various islands. It also covered a wide range of topics related to the occult, such as magic, divination, grimoires, folklore, and superstitions. And then there is Ephialtes — a pug-faced, bird-winged, wild-eyed little gremlin perched atop the chest of a man, like Fuseli’s Nightmare — who Collin de Plancy describes in just a single sentence, explaining that he derives from the “Greek name for the nightmare . Of course, Collin de Plancy’s concern in the Dictionnaire infernal wasn’t just the defecation of minor demons.The Dictionnaire Infernal (English: Infernal Dictionary) is a book on demonology, describing demons organised in hierarchies. The Dictionnaire infernal, far from being an archaic remnant, reminds us that sharp distinctions between antiquity and modernity ultimately mean little. It was written by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy and first published in 1818[citation needed]. His images were based on his imagination and previous sources, such as grimoires, folklore, and art.

The 1863 edition of the book featured hundreds of spot illustrations, over 60 of which were of specific demons.He combined the rectilinear logic of men like Voltaire and Diderot with the chthonic visions of the symbolist and decadent poets of a generation later — Rimbaud, Baudelaire, and Verlaine, who drunkenly stomped through the rainy streets of Paris clutching their fleurs du mal. Many articles written in the Dictionnaire Infernal illustrate the author's vacillation between rationalism, faith, and willingness to believe without evidence. This influence is most clearly seen in the sixth and final 1863 edition of the book, which is decorated with many engravings and seeks to affirm the existence of the demons. Although Jacques Collin de Plancy’s Dictionnaire infernal, a monumental compendium of all things diabolical, was first published in 1818 to much success, it is the fabulously illustrated final edition of 1863 which secured the book as a landmark in the study and representation of demons.

The Dictionnaire Infernal is a 19th-century encyclopedia of the occult and demonology, written by Collin de Plancy and illustrated by Louis Breton.

L. MacGregor Mathers’ The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon, a famous grimoire that describes how to summon and control 72 demons. He was born in 1793, only four years after the crowning (or most condemnatory) event of the Enlightenment: the French Revolution. But the cards, merely human artifacts, not knowing either the future, nor the present, nor the past, have nothing of the individuality of the person consulting them.
