The Ponape Scripture

in English, written by Captain Abner Ezekiel Hoag, 1743

A printed version of Hoag's manuscript, published in the late eighteenth century. The book details the myths and legends of the various Polynesian peoples encountered by Hoag during his during his travels in the South Pacific. Hoag hints that these cultures are the last survivors of a lost continent. The book describes the myths of a particularly degenerate tribe who worship and breed with the deep ones. There are many references to Cthulhu, his star spawn, and Cthulhu's sons, Ghatanothoa, Y'thogtha and Zoth-Ommog. Miskatonic University acquired its copy as part of the Hoag Bequest. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes. "Miskatonic University: A Handbook to the Pride of Arkham." Chaosium, Oct. 2005.)
