I've had a ton of requests for the texts
of the tomes I have created. So far I've been
filling them out individually. But lately, I've
had so many requests that I decided to just put up a
page where the text for these various tomes could be
downloaded. Beware....for they contain knowledge
mankind was never meant to know!
LATIN
NECRONOMICON
This first link is to download the a German Blackletter text of the
abhorred "Necronomicon."
This is the version I used to print out my
Uber-Necronomicon seen on the props page.
For best results these pages should be 11x17. However, they are formatted
to be printed out at 8.5 x 11. My advice would be to print them out
on "normal" paper, and then have a copy shop enlarge them to 11x17.
As far as the text goes. It is largely assembled from a Latin
Necronomicon edition formatted by John Fair-Holton, which was then expounded
upon by myself and reformatted to fit my contours and fonts updated. The text itself is a
complete fake and is formed from several medieval manuscripts, alchemical, and
hermetic tomes. Names have been changed to protect the innocent...and to
reflect the entities of the Cthulhu Mythos. The "woodcuts" and
other art were purloined from various places on the internet. Most are
public domain, some may not be, just be careful.
This text is supposed to be the 17th century printing in Spain of the German
Blackletter Latin edition of the Necronomicon, translated from the Greek by
Olaus Wormius in the 12th century as described by H.P. Lovecraft (History of
the Necronomicon)

DE VERMIS
MYSTERIIS
Based largely on
John Buruss' "Malifinomicon", this is a
nice looking text meant to simulate H.P.
Lovecraft's "De Vermis Mysteriis".
This particular version is formatted to be printed
out on 8.5 x 11" paper, double-sided in
landscape format, that way when you fold the paper
in half you actually get 4 pages. Sew or
bind with postscrews and then add a cover and
voila! Again, 95% of the woodcuts are public
domain, some other may not be. So just use
this stuff for your own use please.
This one is
supposed to be an apocryphal 1809 reprinting of
Ludwig Prinn's terrible tome.
