Liber Ivonis Fragment I

in Latin, author unknown, ca. 250 A.D.

The manuscript represents one of the early works that probably formed the basis of Faber's medieval translation. Less than a third of the complete text remains, and many pages are torn, stained, or otherwise marred. What small portions remain, however, are far clearer than the corresponding sections in Faber. The fragment in the Orne Library was originally the property of Noah "Wizard" Whately of Dunwich. The book was passed down to his grandson Wilbur Whately in 1924, and eventually ceded to Miskatonic University as part of the Whateley Bequest. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes.
