Other Versions of The Necronomicon


Other versions and partial copies of the Necronomicon also exist. The Sussex Manuscript, also known as the Cultus Maleficarum, is an English translation made by a Baron Frederic from the Latin text, published in Sussex in 1597. The muddled and incomplete Al-Azif - Ye Booke of ye Arab, written in provincial English, was made in the late 16th century and circulated in hand-copied manuscript. The 116-page medieval Voynich Manuscript, presently in the collection of the University of Pennsylvania, is written in Greek and Latin using Arab script. Studies of the Latin versions have been made by such men as Feery and Shrewsbury, and fragmentary translations are found in books published by both these scholars.
