Nameless Cults

in English, translated by M.A. G. Bridewell, 1845

The pirated edition of the first English translation of von Junzt's Black Book, this cheap, leather-bound octavo is filled with cramped text teeming with typographical errors. Mistranslation and misinterpretation abounds, and most of the spells contained in this edition are incomplete and faulty. At least twenty copies of this edition are known to exist worldwide. Colonel Robert Marsh of Portsmouth, New Hampshire donated his copy to the Orne Library in 1860. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes. "Miskatonic University: A Handbook to the Pride of Arkham."
