The Seven Cryptical Scroll of Hsan


Classical Chinese, written by Hsan the Greater, c. 2nd century. A single, large classical Chinese scroll organized into seven books, handwritten and kept in a fitted scroll case bearing the Elder Sign.

This particular copy of the Seven Cryptical Books is much more ancient and perfect than the usual copies. Disagreement still exists as to whether the book was written by Hsan the Greater, or was in fact brought from Leng at the time of the Yellow Emperor before being translated. Amongst other topics, the Books discuss Nyarlathotep’s many incarnations and the Dreamlands, as well as containing fragments from other Mythos tomes.
