Fiction
"Ibid" is a satirical short story in which Lovecraft mocks academic pomposity and the obsession with trivial historical scholarship. The tale follows the supposed travels of the preserved skull of the obscure Roman philosopher Ibidus, whose works were once highly praised by a fictional Mascholar. The skull inexplicably journeys across continents and centuries, ending up in bizarre locations, since abbey niches until a city sewer. Through irony and exaggeration, Lovecraft playfully critiques scholarly excess and the absurd fate of forgotten intellects.
