Synopsis

There are books the world tried to destroy.

Books hidden behind monastery walls. Books buried beneath farmhouse floors. Books locked in chests, wrapped in cloth, and passed quietly from one generation to the next. Books blamed for curses, treasure hunts, visions, strange disappearances, and meetings with forces that seemed to stand outside the ordinary world.

The Devil's Library is a journey into the shadowed history of the world's most infamous grimoires and forbidden manuscripts.

Within its pages are the stories behind the legendary books that fascinated scholars, terrified authorities, and inspired centuries of folklore and mystery.

Discover the dark histories behind:

• The Munich Manual of Demonic Magic

• The Sworn Book of Honorius

• The Red Dragon

• The Black Pullet

• The Book of Saint Cyprian

• The Grand Albert

• The Petit Albert

• The Book of Abramelin

• The strange collectors, monks, magicians, printers, and ordinary people who kept these books alive.

From medieval scriptoria and Renaissance libraries to Parisian street stalls and hidden family collections, these remarkable manuscripts travelled across Europe carrying legends of angels, demons, hidden treasure, ancient wisdom, and dangerous knowledge.

Richly researched and vividly told, The Devil's Library explores the history, folklore, and enduring mystery surrounding the books that generations believed were too powerful to destroy.

Perfect for readers interested in:
