OF THE WITCHES PACT WITH THE DEVIL by Mario Guazzo (Limited Edition Letterpress Softcover)
$45.00
Among the dark classics of esoteric witchcraft literature is Mario Guazzo’s inquistor’s handbook of 1608, Compendium Maleficarum. In addition to its contributions to the ‘sinister traditions’ of occult witchcraft, the pages of the book featured highly original woodcuts depicting the witches’ Sabbat and magical intercourse between the devil and his adorants. Emerging in one of the darkest periods of religious history, it remains a haunting artifact of both the hatred and phantasmagoric imagination of European Christendom.
The softcover is 24 pages, printed in two-color letterpress, with a letterpress cover printed on brown card with French flaps. Limited to 400 hand-numbered copies.
