Maggi gives us an original and penetrating interpretation of Renaissance demonology, with a brilliant analysis and with a challenge to the reader for deeper thoughts on a theme that attracts scholars, but has still some new views. - Michaela Valente, Renaissance Quarterly In his new and fascinating book, Armando Maggi tries to understand the strange world of Renaissance demonology without dwelling on its obvious absurdities.... His aim is not to psychoanalyse but to sympathize, and his method is to enter into the spirit (so to speak) of this strange world. - Neil Forsyth, Times Literary Supplement
