Pnakotic Manuscripts
Resumen del Libro
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Pnakotic Manuscripts (or Pnakotic Fragments) is a fictional manuscript in the Cthulhu Mythos. The tome was created by H. P. Lovecraft and first appeared in his short story Polaris (1918). They are mentioned in many of Lovecrafts stories, including At the Mountains of Madness (1936), The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (1926), The Other Gods (1933), and The Shadow Out of Time (1936). The manuscripts are also referred to by other mythos authors, such as Lin Carter and Brian Lumley. The Pnakotic Manuscripts are noteworthy for being the first of Lovecrafts fictional arcane books. It is possible that Pnakotic is a deliberate pun on narcotic, as the P in the former is probably silent. The Pnakotic Manuscripts predate the origin of man. The original manuscripts were in scroll form and were passed down through the ages, eventually falling into the hands of secretive cults. The Great Race of Yith is believed to have produced the first five chapters of the Manuscripts, which, among other things, contain a detailed chronicle of the races history.
