Description: Dictionnaire Infernal by Jacques-Albin-Simon Collin de Plancy Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This encyclopedia of the occult sciences, reissued here in its 1845 edition, was extraordinarily popular in nineteenth-century France. It lists superstitions and infernal beings, persons, books, facts, and things ranging from Russia to the indigenous cultures of the Andes, and claims thereby to help refute error and banish superstition. Publisher Description Immensely popular in nineteenth-century France, this substantial book went through five editions between 1818 and 1863. It is an A–Z encyclopedia of the occult sciences, listing notable practitioners and books, superstitions, demons, spirits and other phenomena associated with magic, divination, sooth-saying and the supernatural. Its author, the prolific Collin de Plancy (1794–1881), moved to Paris in 1812. He owned a bookshop and speculated in property, a venture which resulted in his exile to Brussels. In 1837, he returned to Paris, rejected his earlier anticlericalism, and converted to Catholicism. The preface to the 1845 edition of his Dictionnaire Infernal, reissued here, claims its purpose is to refute error, banish superstition, and explain literary symbols and imagery.Significantly, the preface and the books concluding paragraph affirm the Churchs role as a source of truth, and the book carries the approval of the archbishop of Paris.
