The False Hierarchy of Demons: Illustrated English Translation of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum Imitation Leather – January 1, 2016

Learn about all sorts of demons and their meanings in this gorgeous book. I am using it as sort of a reference to a project I am working on and it's nice to have all of this info right in front of me. Easy to read large print accompanied by beautiful pictures. If you are into demons or want to start studying demonology, this is a good place to start.

This is what all books hope and dream to be --- the paragon of beauty and craftsmanship. I am so excited and pleased at this, my second purchase from Abracax House Publishers (the first being the incomparable 'The Infernal Dictionary'), that I have dedicated a special place in my occult library to display these works of art. I send burnt offerings and blood tithes to the nethergods that Abracax publishes more!!!!

Very useful book if you’re into this sort of thing. It’s pretty heavy and built strong. Holding it makes you feel like you’re holding something important or valuable. The images are fun to look at, and the text is in English and Latin, so you can compare both and maybe learn a thing or two. If it were something I’d need to replace ever, I’d definitely buy this version again.

This is a beautiful book that pulls many of the spirits from The Book of the Office of Spirits. There are several reasons why this version of the text sets itself a part from the group: sigils from The Lesser Key of Solomon are included, images from the Dictionary Infernal are included, and new art was added by contributing fantasy artists. The reason why I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is that the handling of the book and quality control weren't that great prior to me receiving it, which sucks because the book really is visually striking. That being said, the slip cover was dented in a few corners, it looks like someone ran over a part of the spine with a fingernail, and some of the threads on the front cover were already coming a part. I've been debating about getting Abracax House's Infernal Dictionary, but for the price and seeing someone else had a quality issue with their copy of that text (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2K47C9A7BKCP5/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0997074515), I'm not sure I want to pay for the price they're asking.

This is a beautiful edition of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum! The cover, though faux leather, looks great and feels rich to the touch. The illustrations in the book are lovely to look at. It's a huge bonus that this also includes both the complete English and Latin translations of this work. It's a must have addition to any library that boasts an interest in Demonology or esoteric occultism.

The False Hierarchy of Demons is a interesting book to read. The book came in Mint!

The quality is undeniable. Hardcovered (sure it's not real leather), glossy pages, and beautiful illustrations.I like that it also has the demon descriptions in (original) Latin as well. The artwork is a very nice addition to top it off.

Wanted to give this a 5* review so badly, but as far as the “content”, I PERSONALLY don’t feel I can. The book itself is hardback, has a hard case slide in cover and is made well, so I’m assuming that’s the reason behind the price. I buy books for the content material. This book is more of a “novelty” book then it is “theology/scholarly”. The illustrations for demons that have been researched, and catalogued since the 15th century were incorrect and looked more sci-fi then actual records depicted them. Very short, non-informative sections on them. Slightly deceiving title as far as the word, “Hierarchy” as well.This is my PERSONAL OPINION again and I KEPT the book if that tells you anything. I just wouldn’t have payed that price for it had I known the inner content lacked what I PERSONALLY was looking for. That being said, it is an intriguing book and a conversation starter if borrowed or guests glance through it. So, it is now apart of my Library.
