Overview

Bidukh, a name that appears in the "Fihrist" in discussing the method of the magicians. Ibn al-Nadim says that the people of this method say it is the daughter of Iblis, it is said the daughter of the son of Iblis, and it is said it is Iblis himself. 2

He relates from one of the magicians that he saw her in a dream. These are the views of those whom Ibn al-Nadim describes, not the view of the museum. 2
