Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este extraordinario documento considerado uno de los más importantes manuales jamás recopilados sobre brujería, ofrece una sorprendente visión del pensamiento de principios del siglo XVII y de los intentos de la sociedad para combatir los males que veía manifestarse en la brujería. Esta colección de escritos obra del monje Ambrosiano Francesco Maria Guazzo describe comprensiva y penetrantemente toda la práctica y profesión de la brujería. Publicada por primera vez en 1608, los comentarios vinieron en un momento adecuado. Relatos contemporáneos afirmaban que la brujería "se extendía en todas direcciones", dejando "a ninguna región, ciudad, pueblo, o distrito, a ninguna clase de la sociedad" libre de su práctica. Este trabajo probatorio, obra de un distinguido autor y académico que percibía la diablo como a una fuerza maligna que intenta destruir los cuerpos y las almas de los hombres, era un intento de ayudar al hombre a vivir con piedad y devoción, protegiéndose así de tales seducciones y manipulaciones. Reproducida de una rara edición limitada publicada en 1926 y complementada por muchas notas editoriales de gran erudición por el Rev. Montague Summers, el Compendium Maleficarum incluye serias y profundas discusiones sobre los pactos de las brujas con el diablo, detalladas y agudas descripciones de los poderes de las brujas, sus venenos, y sus crímenes; sortilegios soporíferos y métodos para librarse de ellos, apariciones de demonios y espectros, enfermedades provocadas por demonios, y otros temas. También examina detalladamente los supuestos poderes de las brujas para desplazarse a si mismas de un lugar a otro, de crear cosas vivas, hacer hablar a las bestias y de hacer reaparecer a los difuntos; el uso de las brujas para sanar a los enfermos, las leyes observadas por las brujas para causar y para curar enfermedades, las diferencias entre los endemoniados y los embrujados, y otros temas de la esfera de lo sobrenatural. Aquí se halla un tratado enciclopédico de incalculable valor para el historiador y estudioso de lo oculto y cualquiera intrigado por la ciencia necromántica, los aquelarres, brujerías y tratos con los demonios.

Brossura. Condition: new. Sesto San Giovanni, 2022; br., pp. 294, cm 12x24. Maria Guaccio pubblicò nel 1608 il Compendium maleficarum, un trattato riguardante "le azioni più nefande e nocive all'uomo" e "i rimedi atti a evitarle". Il grande successo dell'opera e le nubi della Guerra dei Trent'anni indussero il frate a pubblicare, in versione ampliata, una nuova edizione del trattato nel 1626, qui riproposta dopo anni di assenza in libreria. Articolata in tre parti suddivise in sezioni teoriche e casi documentati, il Compendio delle stregonerie descrive nel dettaglio tutte le fasi del patto diabolico e del sabba, utilizzando come fonti gli scritti di studiosi come l'Inquisitore Nicolas Rémy, Michele Psello e Martin Delrio.

A good, well margined copy in contemporary vellum, lower compartment of spine restored, later eps. Contemporary faded autograph to recto of fly. Second edition of this finely illustrated manual on witchcraft and demonology by Francesco Maria Guazzo (1570-1640). Significantly enlarged and revised from the rare original of 1608, it includes a new final appendix on the rite of exorcism and additional blessing formulas. A friar of the Order of St. Ambrosius ad Nemus in Milan, Guazzo was a member of the Inquisition tribunal and a highly regarded scholar in the field of demonology, who travelled around Europe visiting the places where cases of witchcraft occurred in order to perfect his knowledge. He is also famous for his successful exorcisms on personalities including Charles III of Lorraine and the German Duke of Julich- Kleve-Berg. The 'Compendium Maleficarum' is an epitome of his theoretical and practical knowledge of witchcraft and its manifestations, inspired by previous works on demonology by Michele Psellus, Giacomo Sprenger and Nicholas Rémy. The 40 fascinating woodcuts are among the most renowned early modern illustrations of witchcraft. These vivid pictures portray winged devils, assemblies of witches, demonic animals, and sorcery at work. We can observe all the phases of the pact with the devil: the abjuration with outrage to the cross, a new oath of fidelity and baptism, the adepts registered in the book of the dead and marked, the flight to the Sabbath, a banquet and sacrifices. These are influenced not only by the medieval figurative tradition but also by more recent illustrations of the New World, including scenes with cannibals often shown, like some of Guazzo's witches, roasting children. Due to this controversial iconography, several copies of this work were destroyed and censured. The work is divided into three books, and each sub-chapter comprises a presentation of theorical concepts ('doctrina') followed a discussion of the evidence provided by various authors. The first book deals with the nature of imagination and magic, the rituals of witches, their pacts with the devil and their 'maleficia', like apparitions and copulation with demons. The second focuses on a variety of sorcery including soporific poison and rare illnesses. The third teaches how to recognize demons, witches, and their manifestations, and reveals divine and natural remedies to defeat them, from prayers to blessed tree branches. The opening dedication to Cardinal Giovanni Antonio Serbelloni, whose heraldic escutcheon decorates the title-page, summarises the crucial question of the 'Compendium', that demons find their abode in heresy and idolatry.
