Montague Summers

    April 10, 1880 – August 10, 1948

    Augustus Montague Summers war ein anglikanischer Priester und später Konvertit zum römisch-katholischen Glauben, der hauptsächlich für seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit über das englische Drama des 17. Jahrhunderts sowie für seine Studien über Hexen, Vampire und Werwölfe bekannt war, an deren Existenz er zu glauben bekannte. Seine Schriften tauchen tief in das Okkulte und Übernatürliche ein, mit akademischer Strenge erforscht. Er ist besonders bekannt für die Erstellung der ersten englischen Übersetzung des berüchtigten Handbuchs zur Hexenjagd aus dem 15. Jahrhundert, des Malleus Maleficarum. Summers' einzigartige Perspektive verband aufrichtigen Glauben mit detaillierter wissenschaftlicher Untersuchung, was sein Werk auszeichnet.

      In einem schummrigen Antiquariat erwirbt der Büchersammler Dr. Julian Hodsoll (Spezialgebiet: Alchymie, Hexerei, Okkultismus) für einen stattlichen Preis ein altes, in lateinischer Sprache verfaßtes Grimoire – ein Zauberbuch mit magischen Rezepturen und Beschwörungsformeln, dessen Titel selbst ihm, dem Kenner des Genres, absolut ungeläufig ist. Schon deshalb ist Dr. Hodsoll überzeugt: Es muß sich bei diesem »Mysterium Arcanum« um eine äußerste Rarität, wenn nicht gar um ein Unikat handeln, und es wird ein Schmuckstück in seiner Sammlung sein. Doch was er einstweilen noch nicht ahnt : Bei diesem Buch ist allein schon der Besitz geisterhaft gefährlich. . .
