Summary/Abstract: The paper is an attempt to document and acknowledge the reproductions of individual graphic works from Schulz’s Booke of Idolatry. Its main point is that the Booke of Idolatry as we know is just a fantasy, a copy of the original isolated in the dark halls of the museum. It is known only from reproductions made by Schulz’s biographers and Schulz scholars. The reproductions of Schulz’s graphic works have been described in terms suggested by Walter Benjamin in his essay, “The Work of Art in the Age of Technical Reproduction.”
