Deal with the Devil
EDITORS COMMENTS
- Scene VI, Compendium Maleficarum, 1608, London, The British Library This haunting illustration, taken from Scene VI of the Compendium Maleficarum, published in London in 1608, depicts a pivotal moment in a macabre tale of a deal with the devil. The woodcut print, created through the process of xylography, showcases an ominous gathering of people huddled around a table, their faces etched with fear and trepidation. At the head of the table, the devil, depicted as a grotesque figure with horns, cloven hooves, and a menacing grin, strikes a deal with a white-robed man. The man, with a desperate and pleading expression, extends his hand towards the devil, offering him a child. The devil, in turn, accepts the offering with a sinister smile. Surrounding the central figures, a group of people, including children, look on in horror. Their faces are contorted with fear and shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. The scene is set against a dark, ominous background, further emphasizing the sense of dread and foreboding. This illustration, part of the Compendium Maleficarum, a compendium of witchcraft, was a popular publication during the European witch hunts. It was used as a guide for identifying and prosecuting witches, and this scene, in particular, serves as a warning of the dangers of making deals with the devil. The British Library, located in London, United Kingdom, houses this rare and intriguing piece of history, a testament to the darker aspects of human history and folklore.
