Fuga Satanae Exorcismus

By Pietro Antonio Stampa. Venice, 1605. Referred to in English as the Flight of Satan. A manual for performing exorcisms. "One of the most important and popular manuals of exorcisms of [Stampa's] time. However, the work of Stampa gained notoriety by the list of the different names and titles of the Devil, as well as his assistants and other demons. It also includes a list of the Holy Scriptures that can be used to fight each one of them." [Thesaurus Exorcismorum atque conjurationum terribilium, booksofmagick.com, 1/16/2021] "A very popular manual . . . Among the usual practical instructions, he added a section on the ritual burning of effigies (one of the demon, the other of the agent of the ‘maleficium’), accompanied by the reading of Revelation." [ WITCHCRAFT Thesaurus exorcismorum, Sokol Books, 1/16/2021] The text is available online (in Latin) at the Internet Archive.
