- First words
- It is a remarkable whim of history that of all the major demonologists of the early modern period Martin Del Rio is the least studied and the one whose work still remains more or less untranslated and therefore increasingly i... (show all)naccessible.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Whatever I have written in this work, I submit to the judgement of the Holy, Apostolic, and Catholic Roman Church, and to the censure of pious theologians. If I have inadvertently said anything which does not have the approval of the Church, I repudiate it and condemn it, and it is my wish that people regard it as though it had not been written. Martin del Rio A priest of the Society of Jesus.
