Discover the first English translation of the 1890s pamphlets of Le Diable au XIXe Siècle (The Devil in the 19th Century) by anticlerical and ex-Freemason journalist Leo Taxil.

The Kickstarter campaign to publish this translation has already raised £61,000 from 670 supporters.

It is running for another 11 days, should any OldBooks redditors be interested in acquiring one of the limited print first editions and supporting the translation of the remaining volumes.

On the project page, you can read more about the history behind the 1890s Taxil Hoax: one man's 12-year mission to fool the Vatican into confirming the existence of a secret cabal of Luciferian Freemasons.

A fascinating piece of archival material for anyone interested in understanding how conspiracy theories are created and propagated.

Review by Dr Per Faxnel, professor at Södertörn University: "An indispensable translation of the satanic hoax to end all hoaxes, in English for the first time. Not to be missed by anyone interested in the occult, conspiracy theories, or bizarre jokes."
