==================================
Published under the pseudonym Doctor Bataille, the work was actually a collaborative literary hoax written by Léo Taxil (Gabriel Jogand-Pagès) and Dr. Charles Hacks.

It was presented as a genuine eyewitness account and exposed detailing global Luciferian Freemasonry, Satanism, the "Palladism" cult, theurgy, goetia, and occultism.

The book famously fooled large segments of the Catholic press, religious authorities, and even readers within the Vatican for years.

In 1897, Léo Taxil publicly revealed that the entire anti-Masonic Satanic conspiracy and its characters (such as the high priestess Diana Vaughan) were complete fabrications designed to mock anti-Masonic credulity and the Catholic Church.
