Lovecraft's use of the name "Azathoth", I believe we can shed some light on his probable source of information on the Necronomicon, namely John Dee's partial English translation. Notes: American author Howard P. Lovecraft was known for featuring sinister ancient texts in his horror fiction.

Lovecraft and Other Mephitic Models: An Interview With Paul Laffoley2006 02 04 By Robert Guffey | paranoiamagazine.com "Lucifer is this creature who, having received an infinite revelation, believed he was God. That's the first sin of pride. It's also a moment at which the first transsubstantiation occurs. … He becomes a humanoid, but he has an infinite number of physical senses." "Where Heaven and Hell are, who the hell knows that now? Because we've got so many dimensions going. I don't think one person could ever make a total theological statement about that." On Valentine's Day, 2004, I attended Paul Laffoley's slide show at Melrose Light Space, a hip art gallery tucked away unobtrusively on the second floor of a Hollywood strip mall, the entire bottom...
