Dictionary of Witchcraft is a must-have resource for anyone
interested in witchcraft, pagan religions, and the occult. This
historical dictionary was the first reference work to seriously
document superstitions, manifestations, magic, and superstitions.
The author s interest was to compile a vast amount of matter that
would interest, entertain and instruct others. This dictionary was
consulted by some of the greatest Romantic writers, notably by
Hugo. Collin de Plancy followed the tradition of many previous
demonologists of cataloguing demons by name and title of nobility,
as it happened with grimoires like Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and The
Lesser Key of Solomon among others. It is considered a major work
documenting beings, characters, books, deeds, and causes which
pertain to the manifestations and magic of trafficking with Hell;
divinations, occult sciences, grimoires, marvels, errors,
prejudices, traditions, folktales, the various superstitions, and
generally all manner of marvelous, surprising, mysterious, and
supernatural beliefs. This edition was translated and introduced by
occultist Wade Baskin. Collin de Plancy (1794 1881) was a French
occultist, demonologist, author, and translator. His best-known
work, Dictionary of Witchcraft (Dictionnaire Infernal), was
published in 1818 but didn t receive wide acclaim until 1863 when a
set of 69 illustrations by Louis Breton were added. Later in life,
de Plancy converted to Catholicism and focused his studies on
Catholic histories and mysticisms.
