medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
It's a pretty long tradition, going back to 2 Cor 11:14, "Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light" (2Cor 11:14). I was motivated to investigate this while studying Milton lo these many years ago.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear listmembers,
reading Jacques de Vitrys historia occidentalis (cap. 5, ed. Hinnebusch, p.
86) I found a short mention of a daemon, who called himself the pen in the
ink (penna in inchausto), since he was instructed by the lord to preach the
evangelical truth. Jacques says, that this happend 'in Alemannia'. Has
anyone met this story ? Or is there something like a literary tradition of
the lord using daemons or evil spirits to do his work in special cases ?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions !
Yours Vera
