A mid 19th century edition of Collin de Plancy’s famous Dictionnaire Infernal, the Universal Directory of beings, characters, books, facts and things that relate to apparitions, divinations, magic, commerce in hell, demons, sorcerers, occult sciences... and generally to all false beliefs, wonderful, surprising, mysterious or supernatural.
These volumes are miraculously still in their original paper wraps, as the Dictionnaire was typically rebound into one volume.
Six volumes in octavo, 548 pages
These volumes are in poor shape, with heavy rubbing and wear to the bindings, with three of the rear covers being detached, and some of the quires loosened, but holding. There is foxing and staining throughout.
