Rob's Room: Compendium Of Demonology and Magic (ca. 1775)

Let's start this Halloween season with the Compendium Of Demonology and Magic (ca. 1775)
A selection of pages from an eighteenth-century demonology book comprised of more than thirty exquisite watercolours showing various demon figures, as well as magic and cabbalistic signs. The full Latin title of Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros, roughly translates to "A rare summary of the entire Magical Art by the most famous Masters of this Art".

I want to see a Terry Gilliam movie made from this book.
