Both volumes of Moncure Daniel Conway's excellent treatise on
demons and devilry are presented here complete. Written in the 19th
century, this lengthy and thorough text documents the various
manifestations of demons and devils in the Christian religion. The
forms they take, and the means by which they appear in the physical
world, are cataloged. How they correspond to actual phenomena, such
as death and pestilence, is likewise noted. Conway draws upon
various writings within the Biblical scriptures, together with
later works published in the Middle Ages and subsequent centuries,
to arrive at his own comprehensive treatment of the subject. The
second volume of the work concerns devils. Various figures such as
Ahriman and Visw mitra receive chapters, in which the writings
about them are quoted to form a complete image of their behavior
and meanings. Appearances of devils in later works, such as the
diabolical Mephistopheles in Goethe's Faust, are also cataloged.
