The Black Index of Demon is a demonological dictionary that compiles names, descriptions, and historical references to demons, spirits, fallen angels, and other figures associated with demonological traditions.
The entries are based on theological sources, grimoires, demonological treatises, historical records, and studies of superstition and folklore. The book includes entities drawn from Hebrew, Mesopotamian, European, Persian, African, and American traditions, reflecting how different cultures have described and interpreted these figures over time.
The work is organized as an index or glossary, allowing readers to consult each entry independently. Each entry provides information about the entity's origin, attributes, hierarchy, representations, and references in historical or demonological texts.
This book is intended for readers interested in:
Historical demonology
History of religious beliefs
Folklore and superstition
Occult traditions and grimoires
Comparative mythology
This is not a manual of magic or occult practice, but a reference work intended for the historical and cultural study of demonology.
