簡介
作者發揮了自己的想像力貫匯文中,所以該書雖然沒有什麼文獻性、但是讀來相當有趣,簡直可以稱為西方的山海經。
根據Weyer的計算,地獄帝國一共有6666個惡魔軍團,每個軍團由6666名惡魔組成,全部軍團由七十二魔王率領。
《地獄辭典》關於惡魔的解說基本按照Weyer的理論進行。而到了1863年發行第六版時,加入了550幅銅版畫,插畫由畫家M. L. Breton創作,Breton對惡魔學和術士的那套理論一竅不通,這些惡魔的形象是按照一些民間傳說的描述或他自己的想像而創作的。這些表現力和視覺效果極強的插畫對近現代惡魔文化起到了深遠的影響,甚至很多神魔影片的惡魔造型都來自《地獄辭典》的這些插圖。
