Confessions of Clithanus, Confessions of the Mad Monk Clithanus

By Clithanus. Originally published in Rome. Soames Hemery found a copy. Includes an account of St. Augustine visiting the priory near Hydestall Cathedral after Clithanus set free the creature Something from Out There. Augustine banished Clithanus to Rome and succeeded in imprisoning the creature with a star-stone, on which he wrote a Latin inscription. [AWD OutThere]

Eric Holm purchased a copy from Sanderton and Harker, printed in Latin. Includes a formula to invoke a Cthulhu spawn, another formula to send it back to the sea, and yet another to send it back upon the person who first invoked it. [AWD Passing]

The Field Museum library has a copy. The work includes a prayer for banishing the Cthulhu spawn to their prison. Interestingly, although Clithanus was a Christian monk, the prayer is addressed to the Elder Gods (1). [AWD Depths (online text)]
