The Dictionnaire Infernal is a book on demonology that includes the name and description of the lots of demons the demonology organised in hellish hierarchies. It was written by Collin de Plancy and first published in 1818. There were several editions of the book, but perhaps the most famous is that of 1863, in which sixty-nine illustrations were added to the book. These illustrations are very creative drawings trying to portray the descriptions of the appearance of several demons made in previous books like The Lesser Key of Solomon.

Un dictionnaire est une liste de mots (morphèmes libres, mots composés, expressions lexicalisées) classés sous leur lemme (ou entrée), accompagnés de leurs définitions ou leur correspondance dans une autre langue.
