medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Richard,

See the synod in Spain (perhaps, in Toledo) in 447 (on the priscillians)  in Mansi 6:491-4 and relevant material in Mansi 5:1186-1204. Here you can find some references to the devilish things. though I don't remember the description you've referred to.

> Various secondary sources I havebeen consulting note that a canon from the Council of Toledo of 447 provides oneof the earliest descriptions of the devil’s appearance. And to support this,these sources either cite each other or provide the following reference:
>
> Mansi, Concil. 3.1465
>
> The problem is, vol. 3 of Mansi doesnot go up to 447. Rather, the relevant volume would seem to be no. 6 which coversthe period 441-451. Not only does this contain no reference to a council inToledo, but it only runs to col. 1230.
