Talk:Prince of Darkness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Primary meaning

My feeling is that Prince of Darkness should redirect to Satan and that the CD box set should sit at Prince of Darkness (album). However, the Satan article does not have an origin statement for the alternative title 'Prince of Darkness', though it can be inferred from other historical references in the article. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 16:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

If it is helpful, PoD in Latin is Princeps Tenebrarum, which can be found in the poem (song) Rhytmus de die mortis by Pietro Damiani[1], as well as in a sermon by Bernard of Clairvaux[2]. Apparently it also occurs in the Descensus ad Infernos appendix to the Acts of Pilate, specifically in the first sentence of IV (XX), but I couldn't find an online Latin text.  --Lambiam^Talk 19:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
