Summary
| Description |
English: Bifrons, an illustration from the "Dictionnaire Infernal" by Jacques Collin de Plancy. Bifrons appears as a monster. He teaches astrology and explains how the planets influence the world. He is also skilled in geometry and understands the properties of herbs, plants, and precious stones. He is believed to move corpses from place to place and to light torches on graves. He commands twenty-six legions. Français : Bifrons, demon qui parait avec la figure d'un monstre. Lorsqu'il prend forme humaine, il rend l'homme savant en astrologie, et lui enseigne a connaitre les influences des planetes; il excelle dans la geometrie; il connait les vertus des herbes, des pierres precieuses et des plantes; il transporte les cadavres d'un lieu a un autre. On l'a vu aussi allumer des flambeaux sur les tombeaux des morts. Il a vingt-six legions a ses ordres. |
