French-born author, occultist, and demonologist J. The layout of text and illustrations has been redesigned, and the index has been revamped. Graphics have been digitally enhanced and enlarged, including full-page demonic portraits. Additionally, the Ultimate Edition has been meticulously enhanced in every respect: it is printed on thicker acid-free paper, with larger type for easier reading. This handsome two-volume set has all the features of the "Infernal Dictionary Deluxe Edition," including full-color endpapers, reproductions of the 500+ original woodcuts, de Plancy's original footnotes, additional notes from the translation team, full color demonic portraits, an English-French article cross-reference, silver gilt stamped letting and decorations, ribbon bookmarks, and translations of introductions to previous editions, all in a handsome slipcase. De Plancy follows the tradition established by grimoires like "The Lesser Key of Solomon" in naming the various demons and itemizing the legions and hierarchies to which they belong, as well as documenting a variety of occult figures. The Infernal Dictionary is an encyclopedic work of demonology, superstitions, folklore, mythology and theology.
The "Infernal Dictionary Ultimate Edition" is truly the ultimate edition of the first full English translation of "Dictionnaire Infernal" by J.
