the Greek neoplatonisT philosopher Proclus (410 - 485 A.D.). Proclus was completely at home in astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, and metaphysics, but was sufficiently well-versed in the magical techniques oftheurgyto evokeHekateto visible appearance. Proclus was also an initiate of Egyptian and Chaldean mystery religions. It is no accident thatAlhazredwas intimatelyfamilarwith the works of Proclus.No Arabic manuscript is known to exist. The authorIdriesShah carried out a search in the libraries ofDeobundin India, Al-Azharin Egypt, and the Library of the Holy City of Mecca, without success. A Latin translation was made in 1487 (not in the 17th. century as Lovecraft maintains) by a Dominican priestOlausWormius.Wormius, a German by birth, was a secretary to the first Grand Inquisitor of the Spanish Inquisition, Tomas de Torquemada, and it is likely that the manuscript of theNecronomicon came into his possession during the persecution of Spanish Moors ("Moriscos") who had been converted to Catholicism under duress and did not exhibit the necessary level of enthusiasm for the doctrines of the Church.the Old Ones were beings from "beyond the spheres", presumably the spheres of the planets, and in the cosmography of that period this would imply the region of the fixed stars or beyond. They were superhuman and extrahuman."the Fallen Ones" and is derived from the Hebrew verb rootnaphal, to fall. The story inGenesisis only a fragment of a larger tradition, another piece of which can be found in the apocryphalBook of Enoch. According to this source, a group of angels sent to watch over the Earth saw the daughters of men and lusted after them.Arab traditions hold that the Jinnor Djinn were a race of superhuman beings which existed before the creation of humankind. The Djinn were created from fire.
