Olaus Wormius 1588-1654[edit]

In the section "Fictional history" Olaus Wormius (Ole Worm) year of death is put as 1624, but it is 1654. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Worm 130.225.254.30 (talk) 06:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims Ole Worm died in 1624, which is not correct, he died 1654. 89.36.204.67 (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional?[edit]

Yeah, it's definitely NOT fictional! You can read it. I have read it. Countless people have. Who writes these articles? 79.106.203.86 (talk) 07:32, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article makes it clear that:

The "real" Necronomicon is fictional.
There are multiple books - mostly compilations of short stories - that are also called the Necronomicon.
There also exist hoaxes purporting to be either the original, or translations of the book.

You've most likely read number #2, but possibly (although unlikely) also #3.

That doesn't make the Necronomicon not fictional. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the etymology: possible link to Scotichronicon?[edit]

it might be inspired by the word Scotichronicon. just sayin 95.10.201.164 (talk) 18:19, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
