History

Origin[]

The Book of Eibon was written by an apprentice to the sorcerer Eibon in Pre-Cataclysmic Hyperborea.[2]

19th century[]

In 1843, the priest of the church of Unity, New England, developed an interest in the esoteric. The priest left his collection of occult books to the parish as legacy after his death. According to rumors, the library (comprised primarily of books acquired by the priest) possibly included the Book of Eibon, among other tomes.[3]

Modern Age[]

By the Modern Age, the Book of Eibon, considered an abomination like other occult tomes, was believed to have been long destroyed.[3]

The Book of Eibon was one of many ancient tomes and magical talismans possessed by Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange), the Sorcerer Supreme. It was stolen along the rest of those mystic items and the full Sanctum Sanctorum by Urthona, a sorcerer from planet Gevaltu. Outforced, Strange was forced to destroy the books and talismans to prevent Urthona from using them.[4] The Book of Eibon was later restored to Strange by Agamotto.[5]

Agatha Harkness learnt about the private library in Unity, and went there with the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff), hoping to find useful books to help shed some light on Wanda's nature as a Nexus being.[3]

Nugent had access to the content of the Book of Eibon, and intended to have it added to the magical encyclopedia Magik had him assemble for her war.[6]

Content[]

The "frightful" Book of Eibon was a mean to summon "strange creatures and stranger gods".[7]
