Pseudomonarchia Daemonum
✦
The False Monarchy of Demons
Weyer's catalogue of 69 spirits — the direct literary ancestor of the Ars Goetia — in Scot's 1584 English, with our transcription and translation alongside. The Latin is shown as facsimile. It keeps the honest scar: 68 entries because Scot dropped Pruflas.
