Condition
Nice edition of this rare treatise on magic and the occult sciences. Work divided into six books, in which the author tries to describe in its entirety the phenomena related to the presence of the devil, the existence of witches and wizards, the influence of different types of magic, soothsaying, evil, and the secret remedies and natural ones to drive them out. In the final part of the work the author focuses on the "walnut of Benevento", where once they were celebrated pagan and religious rites, later ceremonies and magical rituals officiated by witches.
