	Necronomicon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Necronomicon is the title of a fictional text in the works of American fantasy/horror author H.P. Lovecraft and other writers in the Cthulhu Mythos genre of horror fiction.
		The Necronomicon was first mentioned in Lovecraft's 1924 short story "The Hound", written in 1922, though its purported author, the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, had been quoted a year earlier in Lovecraft's "The Nameless City".

	Simon Necronomicon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is called the "Simon Necronomicon" because its introduction was written by a man identified only as "Simon." The book is largely based on Sumerian mythology and attempts to identify the Great Old Ones and other creatures from Lovecraft's Mythos with gods and demons from the Sumerian myths.
		Some see the Necronomicon as an ancient work that has been corrupted down through the ages, while their opponents maintain that the book is a modern hoax combining published Mesopotamian material with Lovecraft's fiction and modern magical practices.
		A crucial difficulty with the Necronomicon being authentic is the question of how Lovecraft would have learned about it before 1921, and why he would have maintained that he invented it.

	Necronomicon - CthulhuWiki
		The Necronomicon is the title of a fictional book created by H.P. Lovecraft and often featured in stories based on the Cthulhu Mythos inspired by his works.
		Copies of the Necronomicon are held by only five institutions worldwide: The British Museum (now held at the British Library); the Bibliothèque nationale de France; Widener Library of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts; the University of Buenos Aires; and the library of the fictional Miskatonic University in the equally fictional Arkham, Massachusetts.

It is far truer to the Lovecraftean version and even incorporates quotations from Lovecraft's stories into its passages.

	Straight Dope Staff Report: Was H.P. Lovecraft's "Necromicon" for real?
		Once and for all: the Necronomicon is fiction, pure fiction, invented by H. Lovecraft in his stories in the 1920s.
		One of the recurring plot devices was the "terrible and forbidden" book, The Necronomicon, an all-purpose book of demonology, occult lore, and magic, written by "the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred." Lovecraft first made reference to The Necronomicon in "The Hound" (1922), and earlier to Abdul Alhazred in "The Nameless City" (1921).
		Lovecraft claimed the Greek term Necronomicon is derived from nekros (corpse), nomos (law) and eikon (image), hence the book title is "The image/picture of the Law of the Dead." Unfortunately, this derivation is not consistent with ancient Greek grammatical constructions.

		I was somewhat surprised to find that nearly all of Necronomicon's story and background are taken directly from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward".
