One of the two best known treatises on magic (along with Malleus Maleficarum), Jesuit scholar Martin Del Rio’s Disquisitionum Magicarum was first published at Louvain in 1599-1600, and quickly went through a number of editions. The text, written from a counter-reformation viewpoint, covers superstition, idolatry and devil worship, amulets, incantations, spells, alchemy, exorcism, prophecy, divination, and provides a list of satanic authors (including Bacon, Paracelsus, and George Ripley).
It became the standard guide for priests and ecclesiastical judges, both Catholic and Protestant, throughout the 17th century, particularly during the height of the witch-hunts in France and the German states in the first decades of the seventeenth century.With engraved title page and 1 folded table.
