The text is a composite. Some of it is Leland's translation into
English of an original Italian manuscript, the Vangelo (gospel).
Leland reported receiving the manuscript from his primary informant
on Italian witchcraft beliefs, a woman Leland referred to as
"Maddalena" and whom he called his "witch informant" in Italy. The
rest of the material comes from Leland's research on Italian
folklore and traditions, including other related material from
Maddalena. Leland had been informed of the Vangelo's existence in
1886, but it took Maddalena eleven years to provide him with a
copy. After translating and editing the material, it took another
two years for the book to be published. Its fifteen chapters
portray the origins, beliefs, rituals and spells of an Italian
pagan witchcraft tradition. The central figure of that religion is
the goddess Aradia, who came to Earth to teach the practice of
witchcraft to peasants in order for them to oppose their feudal
oppressors and the Catholic Church.
