About this work
Description
Charms and demonology. Though the term "demonology" is used in the manuscript itself, the creatures being described are known in Malay as "hantu",
which differs from the Western conception of demons in that the term is commonly used to describe spirits and mythological creatures in general, both
malicious and not. Though some may also be called demons or syaitan in the Islamic sense, not all hantu are necessarily demonic.
