I got this new book for my collection and wanted to put together a cute outfit inspired by it.
It's an English translation of Infernal Legends by J. Collin De Plancy (originally printed 1861). I've have Abracax House's print of De Plancy's Infernal Dictionary. It's great insight into how the subjects of demons, witchcraft, and the occult were viewed in the 1800s but definitely told from De Plancy's Catholic point of view.
Essentially, the book is a compilation of short tales regarding people who make pacts with devils.

So, I've done some searching on this one, as far as I can tell there isn't a PDF of the English translation I can find anywhere at present.
However in a month or two (depending on when I can get back home to my people and books) I can get my hands on a copy of the 1863 translation published by Abracax House and scan a pdf. Best I got unless someone else finds a PDF somewhere.
Dear Caretaker, do you know where to find an English translation of the post-1826 version of the Dictionnaire Infernale? I need it for my occult studies and my French isn't good enough to understand the copies I did find.
I offer my darkest thoughts about Astronomy and a knawing sense of dread about the stars.
I'm not at my computer right now but my physical copy is french. Maybe someone can find you a pdf in the meantime?
