Pnakotic Manuscripts
The Pnakotic Manuscripts (or Pnakotic Fragments) is a fictional manuscript in the Cthulhu Mythos. The tome was created by H. P. Lovecraft〔Lovecraft referred to the Pnakotic Manuscripts in eleven of his stories—second only to the ''Necronomicon'', which is referred to 18 times. (Loucks, "The Necronomicon and Other Grimoires".)〕 and first appeared in his short story "Polaris" (1918). They are mentioned in many of Lovecraft's stories, including ''At the Mountains of Madness'' (1936), ''The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath'' (1926), "The Other Gods" (1933), and ''The Shadow Out of Time'' (1936). The manuscripts are also referred to by other mythos authors, such as Lin Carter and Brian Lumley.
The Pnakotic Manuscripts are noteworthy for being the first of Lovecraft's fictional arcane books.〔Joshi & Schultz, ''An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia'', p. 187.〕
==Origin==
The Pnakotic Manuscripts predate the origin of man. The original manuscripts were in scroll form and were passed down through the ages, eventually falling into the hands of secretive cults. The Great Race of Yith is believed to have produced the first five chapters of the Manuscripts, which, among other things, contain a detailed chronicle of the race's history. However, others attribute them to the Elder Things, because of certain similarities to the Eltdown Shards.
The Pnakotic Manuscripts were kept in the Great Race's library city of Pnakotus (hence the name). They cover a variety of subjects, including descriptions of Chaugnar Faugn and Yibb-Tstll, the location of Xiurhn, Rhan-Tegoth's rituals, and others.
