''Unaussprechlichen Kulten'' (also known as ''Nameless Cults'' or the ''Black Book'') is a fictional work of arcane literature in the Cthulhu Mythos. The book first appeared in Robert E. Howard's short stories "The Children of the Night" (1931) and "The Black Stone" (1931) as ''Nameless Cults''. Like the ''Necronomicon'', it was later mentioned in several stories by H. P. Lovecraft. ==Name== The name is due to an effort of Lovecraft's to come up with a German translation of ''Nameless Cults''. The title ''Unaussprechlichen Kulten'' is due to August Derleth.〔Price, "Introduction: The Ebony Book", ''The Book of Eibon'', p. xvii.〕 ''Unaussprechliche Kulte'' would be the German for "unspeakable cults". The form ''Unaussprechlichen Kulten'' is the dative case, suggesting a full title of ''Von unaussprechlichen Kulten'' ("Of Unspeakable Cults", as it were ''de cultis ineffabilibus'') or similar. Some observers have commented that since the German adjective may not only translate to "unspeakable, unutterable, ineffable", but also to "unpronouncable, tongue-twisting", the title is a good description of the names invented by Lovecraft. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unaussprechlichen Kulten」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
