Clavicle of Nyarlathotep

Georg Reuter Fischer heard voices mention the clavicle of Nyarlathotep as part of a list of books [FL Terror2]. In this case, "clavicle" is probably not a reference to a collarbone, but is used like the Latin word Clavicula, meaning a key. The title is reminiscent of the Key of Solomon (Latin: Clavicula Salomonis), a Renaissance-era book of magic that was misleadingly attributed to the Biblical King Solomon. One can surmise that the Clavicle of Nyarlathotep is a Renaissance-era book of spells that are attributed to Nyarlathotep. When originally issued, the book may have had a Latin title like Clavicula Niarlathotepus.
