Alhazred's Necronomicon (lit.: Book of Dead Names) this, contrary to popular belief, is not at all a collection of witchcraft spells. It was intended as a historical narrative, “a book about what has died and gone,” however, the author is united with Madame Blavatsky's tendency to mix together facts, conjectures, rumors and complete nonsense. As a result, a very voluminous and difficult to read compendium, suspicious reminiscent of Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine. In the past on this the text was carefully referred to as Al Azif or the Book of the Arab. It was contained in seven volumes and in the Latin edition numbered over 900 pages. * Question: Where and when was the Necronomicon written? The Necronomicon was written in Damascus in 730 by Abdul Alhazred. * Question: Who is Abdul Alhazred? Little is known about his life. All known biographical the information is mainly drawn from the Necronomicon itself. He traveled a lot, covering the lands from Alexandria to Punjab, and was well educated. He learned easilyforeign languages and used every opportunity to show off his the ability to read and translate manuscripts that were not strength to less learned people. However, his research methods more reminiscent of Nostradamus than Herodotus. As he writes himself Nostradamus in the 1st and 2nd quatrains: I sit alone at night in a secret office Riding on a brass tripod: A subtle flame arises from loneliness, bestowing success something that should not be believed in vain. The magic wand in the hand is placed in the center between brass tripod legs He smeared the hem of his clothes and his feet with water: Oh horror! A voice is heard. He trembles in his robe: Divine splendor. God sits next to him. Just as Nostradamus used ritual magic, to look into the future, Alhazred used similar techniques to find out the past. For this reason, and also because lack of references, historians have rejected the Necronomicon, considering it devoid of scientific value. Alhazred is often called the "mad Arab", but despite the fact that by modern standards he actually behaved somewhat eccentric, with evidence confirming his real insanity, we do not have (except for his chronic inability to maintain the thread of a narrativeover several paragraphs, without straying into other topics). His can be compared with such a historical figure as the Greek Neoplatonist Proclus (410-485), who was well versed in astronomy, mathematics, philosophy and metaphysics, but was also also skilled enough in the magical techniques of theurgy to cause the visible appearance of the goddess Hecate; besides, he was initiated into the Egyptian and Chaldean mysteries. No wonder that Alhazred was well acquainted with the works of Proclus. * Question: What is the publication history of the Necronomicon? To our knowledge, there is no Arabic manuscript of this text. preserved. Researcher Idris Shah tried unsuccessfully find it in the libraries of Deobund in India, Al-Azhar in Egypt, and in the library of the holy city of Mecca. Latin the translation was made in 1487 (and not at all in the 17th century, as states Lovecraft) by the Dominican monk Olaus Wormius. Vormius, a German by birth, was secretary of the first Great The Inquisitor of Spain, Thomas de Torquemada, and quite possibly that the manuscript of the Necronomicon was discovered during persecution of the Moors, forced under pressure from the authorities to cross to Catholicism; however, the faith of these converts is naturally turned out to be weak. It was veryit is unreasonable to translate and publish the Necronomicon at that time and in those parts. This book probably had a strong impression on the translator, because he was eventually burned on charges of heresy after how he sent a copy of the Necronomicon to Johann Tritheim, abbot Spanheim (better known as Trithemius); in The cover letter contained a detailed and very a blasphemous interpretation of several passages from the Book of Genesis. Almost all copies of Wormius's translation were burned together with him, although we cannot rid ourselves of the suspicion that at least at least one copy was to be preserved in the Vatican Library. Almost a hundred years later, in 1586, a copy of the Latin Wormius's translation suddenly showed up in Prague. Dr John Dee the famous English alchemist, was at that time with his assistant to Edward Kelly at the court of Emperor Rudolf II, discussing with him plans to mine alchemical gold. Kelly bought this copy is from the so-called “Black Rabbi” - Kabbalist Jacob Eliezer, who fled to Prague from Italy after he was accused of practicing necromancy. In those days in Prague many magicians, alchemists and charlatans of all kinds flocked, since Rudolf patronized the adherents of the secret sciences. Barely Is it possible to imagine another place in Europe, more suitablefor the next appearance of the text "Necronomicon". The Necronomicon had a significant influence on Kelly: character his visions in the magic crystal changed and led to unusual phenomena, because of which horror reigned in Dee’s house; Crowley interprets this as the first unsuccessful attempt select community of people to establish contact with entities "Books of the Law". Soon after, Kelly broke up with Dee. Dee translated the Necronomicon into English, but contrary to According to Lovecraft, this translation was never published: the manuscript ended up in the collection of Elias Ashmole, and then in Bodleian Library in Oxford. There are many modern counterfeits passed off as the original text of the Necronomicon. But they are easy to recognize by the complete lack of intellect and imagination qualities in them, which Alhazred possessed in abundance. * Question: What is the content of the Necronomicon? First of all, this book is known for its discussions of "primordial times". Alhazred had access to many now lost sources and was able to study in detail the events on which are only hinted at by the Book of Genesis, the apocryphal Book of Enoch and other traditions. It can be said that to clarify the details prehistoric events Alhazredused dubious magical methods, but the critical mind and desire explore the hidden meaning of mythological and sacred stories makes him related to the Greek writers of the 5th century. BC (such as Thucydides). His reasoning looks surprisingly modern, and This, in particular, may explain its current popularity. He believed that before the human race appeared, the Earth inhabited by other species of living beings, and what humanity has acquired a lot of knowledge thanks to meetings with beings from other “spheres”. He shared with some Neoplatonists the belief that the stars are like planets invisible from Earth revolve around our Sun and around them, on which special forms of life exist. But these beliefs Alhazred significantly complicated and expanded with metaphysical speculations representing these life forms in parts cosmic hierarchy of spiritual evolution. He was convinced that that he communicated with these creatures - the "Ancients" - using magic spells, and warns that these monstrous forces are waiting for the hour to return and reclaim their rights to Earth. Alhazred interprets this belief in light Apocalypse of John, but with a different outcome: the winner in the great the war that will bring devastation to Earth will be the Beast.
