Paimon
The Goetic King known as Paimon, is a spirit named in various grimoires, prominently featured in the ''The Lesser Key of Solomon'' (specifically in the ''Ars Goetia''). Other early grimoires and demonological texts where he is mentioned include Johann Weyer's ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'', Jacques Collin de Plancy's ''Dictionnaire Infernal'', the ''Livre des Esperitz'' (as "''Poymon''"), the ''Clavis Inferni'', the ''Liber Officiorum Spirituum'', ''The Book of Abramelin'', and certain French editions of ''The Grimoire of Pope Honorius'' (as Bayemon); as well as British Library, Sloane MS 3824. Status and rank The ''Goetia'', ''Liber Officiorum Spirituum'', and Weyer begin entries on King Paimon noting that he is quite obedient to Lucifer. Both the ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' and the ''Liber Officiorum Spirituum'' note that he is more obedient to the will of Lucifer than any of the other kings be. King Paimon appears as the ninth spirit in the ''Ars Goetia'', the 22nd spiri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The sole demon which appears in ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' but not in the ''Ars Goetia'' is Pruflas.

Dictionnaire Infernal
The ''Dictionnaire Infernal'' () is a book on demonology, describing demons organised in hierarchies. It was written by Jacques Collin de Plancy and first published in 1818. There were several editions of the book; perhaps the most famous is the 1863 edition, which included sixty-nine illustrations by Louis Le Breton depicting the appearances of several of the demons. Many but not all of these images were later used in S. L. MacGregor Mathers's edition of ''The Lesser Key of Solomon''. History ''Dictionnaire Infernal'' was first published in 1818 and then divided into two volumes, with six reprints—and many changes—between 1818 and 1863. This book attempts to provide an account of all the knowledge concerning superstitions and demonology. A review in 1822 read: The cover page for the 1826 edition reads: Influenced by Voltaire, Collin de Plancy initially did not believe in superstition. For example, the book reassures its contemporaries as to the torments of Hell: "To ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
