First edition of the second and only volume of this important treatise on demonology, one of the most influential works on magic and witchcraft at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly regarding debates on magic and the suppression of witchcraft. In it, the Jesuit Martin Del Rio (1551–1608) examines curses, superstitions, divination practices, and various forms of magic, drawing on a wealth of theological, legal, and historical sources.
