Olaus Wormius 1588-1654
[edit]In the section "Fictional history" Olaus Wormius (Ole Worm) year of death is put as 1624, but it is 1654. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Worm 130.225.254.30 (talk) 06:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

The article claims Ole Worm died in 1624, which is not correct, he died 1654. 89.36.204.67 (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Fictional?
[edit]Yeah, it's definitely NOT fictional! You can read it. I have read it. Countless people have. Who writes these articles? 79.106.203.86 (talk) 07:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- The article makes it clear that:
- The "real" Necronomicon is fictional.
- There are multiple books - mostly compilations of short stories - that are also called the Necronomicon.
- There also exist hoaxes purporting to be either the original, or translations of the book.
- You've most likely read number #2, but possibly (although unlikely) also #3.
- That doesn't make the Necronomicon not fictional. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
On the etymology: possible link to Scotichronicon?
[edit]it might be inspired by the word Scotichronicon. just sayin 95.10.201.164 (talk) 18:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
= Can someone link Joseph Curwen?
[edit]On the wiki for "the Case of Charles Dexter Ward" it's noted that Joseph Curwen was driven from Salem in 1692. This wiki explains "the burning of a certain Salem man's library in 1692" and explains it by referencing the salem witch trials - Can we reference the Charles Dexter Ward story instead? I'm blocked by the page's protected status from doing so myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.244.243.96 (talk) 19:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Minor quibble
[edit]When describing the passage quoted in The Dunwich Horror, the article says "The Necronomicon passage in question states:", implying this is the passage Whateley was looking for. The book only says this was on the same spread as he was copying from; in context it's clear he's looking for a chant or incantation, not background information. I suggest replacing this with "The Necronomicon introduces the incantation with this passage:" 82.12.148.203 (talk) 16:18, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
