Satian Bruges or pector príncipes? “Political” foundations of demonological scepticism in early Modernity

Abstract

The scepticism regarding the characteristic (more than exclusive) brushery of the Hispana region corresponds to a particular way of understanding the aetiology of the bad. While paradigmatic texts of radical demonology, such as the malleus Maleficarum, took a decisive step towards the demonisation of the natural bad (i.e. responsible for the deemorial and bruges of calamities and tabs), texts of Spanish origin, such as the Fortalitium fidei de Alonso de Espina, supported the traditional position: they considered him to be the promoter of bad morals in the world and the natural bad, for their part, as a result of the anger of God by the breast of their people, particularly the pecking of the Cristian príncipes. I argue in this work that the distinction between the two ways of interpreting the causality of the world’s ills can be read in a key political way.
