Topic: The Pnakotic Manuscripts


  
  Necronomicon
There is a whole list of others cited in his works, such as the Book of Eibon, the Pnakotic Manuscripts, "the Cultes des Goules of Comte d'Erlette, the Unaussprechlichen Kulten of von Junzt, and old Ludvig Prinn's hellish De Vermis Mysteriis" (Haunter of the Dark).
Manuscripts of the Book of Enoch were found in Ethiopia in the 17th century, and a papyrus of the Gospel of Judas finally turned up in the 21st century.
No such manuscript of the Necronomicon has turned up, and until one does, it must be considered fictional.

From "At the Mountains of Madness": "A few daring mystics have hinted at a pre-Pleistocene origin for the fragmentary Pnakotic Manuscripts, and have suggested that the devotees of Tsathoggua were an alien to mankind as Tsathoggua itself."
They were brought down from Hyperborea by a secret cult (allied to that which preserved the Book of Eibon), and are in the secret Hyperborean language, but there is a rumour that they are a translation of something hellishly older-brought from the land of Lomar and of fabulous antiquity even there.
Now it is told in the moldy Pnakotic Manuscripts that Sansu found naught but wordless ice and rock when he did climb Hatheg-Kla in the youth of the world.

 Lovecraft Country: Interesting Things
The Voynich Manuscript is well known among students of antique curiosities, most of whom believe that the knowledge to translate it has been lost.
What is less well-known is that the Voynich manuscript was translated by the Department of Cryptolinguistics at Miskatonic U in 1908, and the translation then ruthlessly surpressed lest the world be irretrievably damaged by its content.
The only remaining copy of the translation is believed to be somewhere in the Cryptolinguistics department, but thorough searches of the library have turned up nothing.

 Tsathoggua - The Fairfield Project
Tsathoggua (the Sleeper of N’kai) is an amorphous, toad-like god-creature mentioned in the Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Necronomicon and the Commoriom myth-cycle preserved by the Atlantean high-priest Klarkash-Ton.
His most common form is very squat and pot-bellied, his head like a monstrous toad and his whole body covered with an imitation of short fur, giving somehow a vague sensation of both the bat and the sloth.
A few daring mystics have hinted at a pre-Pleistocene origin for the fragmentary Pnakotic Manuscripts, and have suggested that the devotees of Tsathoggua were as alien to mankind as Tsathoggua itself.

 Principles and Parameters
So if the language of the Pnakotic Manuscripts belonged to the Semitic family, or Sino-Japanese or one of the dozen other families which I only had partial analyses of, it would be a crapshoot.
One such language, records of which are preserved on wood-and-palm-leaf tablets known as the Pnakotic Manuscripts, had been the object of the attentions of Dr. J.T. Schwarzwalder, who in 1895 compiled his Analysis of the Manuscript of the Pnakotoi.
All I could conclude from the evidence at hand was that the Pnakotic Manuscripts belonged to a culture that had been extremely isolated, bad about keeping records, and dead for a very, very long time.

But my eyes were the keenest in the city, despite the long hours I gave each day to the study of the Pnakotic manuscripts and the wisdom of the Zobnarian Fathers; so my friend, desiring not to doom me to inaction, rewarded me with that duty which was second to nothing in importance.
Vainly did I struggle with my drowsiness, seeking to connect these strange words with some lore of the skies which I had learnt from the Pnakotic manuscripts.
My head, heavy and reeling, drooped to my breast, and when next I looked up it was in a dream, with the Pole Star grinning at me through a window from over the horrible and swaying trees of a dream swamp.

 Kurogane’s Anime Blog » Grimoires anyone?
Demonbane might not be the best anime this season, but it does score in one thing thus far, which is the embodiments of the grimoires in the show, notably Al-Azif, or better known as the Necronomicon, and the newly appeared Pnakotic Manuscripts.
Not only it seems that they are freakingly cute and are made of win in their gothic lolita outfits, they also have a chibi mode that would only be matched by Shana-tan herself.
But that aside, it does have an equal amount of fail accompanying, no less than the stereotypical weak-ass protagonist that actually has hidden powers and learns to use them over the course of the show.

 LEVIATHAN CHAINED: The Legend of the Nephilim and the Cthulhu Mythos, by Paula O'Keefe
He begins with the research of one Dr. Stanislaus Hinterstoisser to the effect that the source manuscript - from which Al Azif and the Necronomicon are derived - is not the work of one man at all, mad poet or otherwise.
It is assembled from a potpourri of Akkadian, Babylonian, Sumerian, Persian, and sundry ancient source documents - those in turn, of course, having faithfully transcribed it from yet earlier sources back to the voices of the proto-humans who first heard the Old Ones speak in their sleep.
This cryptic 16th-Century manuscript is the Liber Logaeth, also called in Latin Liber Mysterorum Sextus et Sanctus, "Sixth Book of the Holy Mysteries", and sometimes confusingly referred to as the Book of Enoch.

There are also distinct similarities with the early, untranslatable glyphs in the Pnakotic Manuscripts.

 Calling Cthulhu
Lovecraft's scholarly heroes also investigate the Mythos as much through reading and thinking as through movements through physical space, and this psychological exploration draws the mind of the reader directly into the loop.
He also constructs a documentary texture by thickening his tales with manuscripts, newspaper clippings, scholarly citations, diary entries, letters, and bibliographies that list fake books alongside real classics.
All this produces the sense that "outside" each individual tale lies a meta-fictional world that hovers on the edge of our own, a world that, like the monsters themselves, is constantly trying to break through and actualize itself.
