The book has been kept in a plastic baggie, included. A few words about this book: One of dozens of books on the topic of witchcraft and demonology retained by the Roman Catholic Church and rarely if ever translated out of Latin.This work was rediscovered by a French bibliophile in the 1860-70s and quickly translated into his native French as well as English around the year 1879. Copies of these original translations were privately distributed in France. Years thereafter the effort to create a definitive and corrected English edition was headed by Montague Summers and offered to the English public in 1927. That edition commands a considerable price when they surface. A few words about this work’s content and its author: Written in the late 1600s toward the sunset of the author’s life, Sinistrari draws from earlier witch hunting manuals such as The Compendium Maleficarum, Malleus Maleficarum and Boguet’s Examen Of Witches. However, Sinistarie offers something unique and singular to his Franciscan and Diocesan colleagues. Demoniality is a thesis on the phenomena of Incubi and Succubi. Within its pages readers will find a treasure trove of lore, reported first hand accounts and the foundation of the author’s ultimate declaration; that Incubi and Succubi as well as other sprits (such as Djinn) are real and among us.Like the witch hunting manuals before it, Sinistrai’s thesis was never intended to be read by the laity. The result is an uncensored and overzealous depiction of the church's beliefs and encounters with supposed demonic forces and its reaction to them.
