The Book of Thoth was a magic tome containing dangerous spells (all the magic that was lost when Atlantis was sunk).
History
It was written by Thoth and had been locked into a chest placed in the river Koptos for centuries, guarded by an immortal snake.
In 1940, an evil wizard killed the guardian and stole the book. Doctor Fate fought the wizard, and after an air battle the villain fell to his death. The animals and trees in the area attacked Doctor Fate, seeking revenge against the man who killed the current owner of the Book. Doctor Fate then burned the book, which broke the spell and returned the trees and animals to normal, although thousands of fish died where the book's ashes were scattered across the sea.
Doctor Fate had some knowledge of its content, since he once summoned a fire spell which he admitted to be contained in the Book of Thoth.[1]
