Description

Split into four parts (Demonaltry, The Demon, The Dragon, The Devil), Demonology and Devil-Lore is a compendium of all things evil. Written in 1879 by Monroe Daniel Conway, it became an instant classic to those interested in the Darker Side of Things.

Profusely illustrated, Conway weaves with ease through time and world belief-systems to create a syncretic hierarchy of devils and demons…
