Here you can find a bit of everything: genies, evil spirits, angels, demons and other beings. They were all kept hidden in the ancient traditions of Iran, until the moment when a manuscript hit the shelves of Princeton to reveal to the world a vision about this mystical universe.
Demonic creatures painted with watercolor make up the book wonders of creation, which also details incantations, talismans, spells, and about 56 illustrations of demons and other creatures. The 1921 text accompanies the images with some statements in Arabic and Farsi (Persian official language) that cover the period from 1911 to 1921.
