INTRODUCTION
Crimson Horn Press - Project 1928
Who We Are
Project 1928, an antiquarian archive and scholarly repository, represents the culmination of decades of research, preservation, and bibliophilic dedication. Drawing principally from the estates of Dr. Greygory Callan Jenks, PhD, and Dr. Leopold Rothchilde Ecks, PhD, D.Litt.—former professors within the Schools of Anthropology and Psychology at Miskatonic University, respectively—the collection reflects a lifetime commitment to palaeography, manuscript studies, folklore, and the history of esoteric thought. Through their efforts, a remarkable assemblage of rare books, manuscripts, correspondence, and scholarly papers has been preserved, rivalling the holdings of many distinguished museums, athenaeums, and special collections libraries.
The designation Crimson Horn Press was adopted in honour of Richard Henry Jenkinson, whose devotion to scholarship, intellectual freedom, and historical preservation embodied the principles upon which the archive was founded. The chronological scope of the collection extends from the late fourteenth century through the personal journals, field notes, and monographs of Professors Jenks and Ecks, terminating on 30 June 1928. In this respect, Project 1928 serves not only as a repository of rare materials but also as a tribute to the spirit of inquiry, artistic expression, and independent thought that helped shape the intellectual heritage of the modern world.
Established as a private repository on 17 November 1991, Crimson Horn Press is dedicated to the preservation of antiquarian books, periodicals, broadsides, and rare printings of historical significance. Among its holdings are early Bibles, concordances, theological works, and a substantial body of literature relating to ceremonial magic, folklore, comparative religion, and the Western esoteric tradition. The collection includes both original editions and historically important facsimiles of such renowned texts as the Grimorium Verum, the Book of Abramelin, the Arbatel de Magia Veterum, and the Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm (Picatrix). Particularly noteworthy are a sixteenth-century recension of the Liber Juratus Honorii, a seventeenth-century copy of the Verba ex Libro Vivi, and several fragmentary leaves attributed to the legendary Kitab al-Azif of Abdul Alhazred, the enigmatic figure remembered in occult tradition as the 'Mad Arab.'
Today, Crimson Horn Press safeguards more than six hundred rare books, manuscripts, and printed artefacts within environmentally controlled vaults designed to ensure their long-term preservation. Researchers interested in the history of grimoires, magical literature, and esoteric traditions are encouraged to consult the extensive work of Joseph H. Peterson, whose contributions to the study and preservation of occult texts remain among the most respected in the field. For those fortunate enough to receive an invitation, the collections of Crimson Horn Press offer an unparalleled journey into the intellectual and cultural history of the past six centuries. Beneath the historic structure that houses the archive lies an extensive network of climate-regulated vaults, where rare books, manuscripts, and archival materials are carefully preserved under rigorous conservation standards. Guided tours are conducted by appointment each Wednesday evening, providing visitors with an opportunity to examine selected treasures from the collection under the supervision of the resident docent.
From time to time, members of the Ordo Esotericus Dagonis (E.O.D.) and the Societas Crucis et Pentalfae (S.O.R.) convene within the historic walls of the former cannery building at Seattle’s Pioneer Square, where Crimson Horn Press maintains its headquarters. Such gatherings, held at the discretion of the participating organisations, continue a long tradition of scholarly discourse, historical inquiry, and the preservation of arcane knowledge that has defined the institution since its founding.
