Daemonolorum

Little information is available about this work, but from its Latin title, it seems likely to have been a work about demons. According to Claude.ai, Daemonlorum "isn't a standard Latin form. It looks like it might be aiming for Daemonologia ('Demonology,' a real period genre title, cf. King James's Daemonologie) or Daemonologorum ('of the demonologists')." Wiktionary defines lorum variously as "thong (leather strap); reins of a bridle; whip, lash, scourge; girdle; slender vinebranch," while the Online Latin Dictionary adds more possible meanings, including "dog leash" or "reins." So the title could have been intended for "Whip of the Demons" or "Reins of the Demons," but in this case it would correctly be written Lorum Daemonum.

Malcolm Kent said "Somewhere in the old Daemonolorum it is written that there was a sect of Egypt which believed literally in their gods; believed that Anubis, Bast, and Set could assume human form." [RB Brood]

Edgar Gordon had a copy of the Daemonolorum; the narrator of "The Dark Demon" thought that the work was not conducive to a healthy state of mind. [RB Demon]
