Pseudomonarchia Daemonum is Johann Weyer’s catalogue of spirits appended to editions of De praestigiis daemonum. It lists infernal rulers, offices, appearances and powers while placing the material inside Weyer’s broader argument against the persecution of accused witches. The catalogue became a principal source for the later Ars Goetia. Because historical copies often preserve it as part of Weyer’s larger book, the downloadable source may be a complete De praestigiis daemonum edition containing the catalogue. Modern standalone translations are not imported automatically.

Edition and rights note

A verified Weyer edition containing the Pseudomonarchia is acceptable. Modern standalone translations are excluded.
