Selections De Livre D'ivon

A handwritten copy by du Nord from an earlier Greek and/or Latin manuscript. From the collection of Roger Carlyle. The book was purchased as part of a large collection in an auction at a Bavarian estate in April 1918. The book is listed along with 300 additional volumes, none of particular mythos interest. . Octavo, handwritten manuscript, bound in decaying blue calfskin.

A variation of the Liber Ivonis, the book contains many useful spells and treatises on practical magic, although its focus is more towards the worship of a deity called “Tsathoggua.” There are, however, border illustrations of something that looks suspiciously like an inverted, broken ankh (the symbol of the Brotherhood of the Black Pharaoh), as well as a discussion concerning the enmity between “Pazz- Luzza” and a deity known as “Nodens.”
