demonology
the study of demons or demonic beliefs Demonology in a number of religions a teaching concerning evil spirits that originated historically from a primitive belief in spirits. Demonology is most important in religions with a dualistic division of the universe into a world of good and evil (for example, Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism). In later religions that experienced the influence of Zoroastrianism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) demonology also became an important part of doctrinal belief. How to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | King James I of England, in his Daemonologie, referred to "the incredible strength of the possessed creature, which will farre exceede the strength of six of the wightest and wodest of any other men that are not so troubled. The last, and most astonishing, weakness of Willis' discussion of James is that she does not analyze his Daemonologie at all. Interesting couplings, such as works by Isabel Whitney and John Donne, King James's Daemonologie and Ben Jonson's Masque of Queens, and John Harington's translation of Orlando Furioso and native English defenses of women, in the essays by Ilona Bell, Lawrence Normand, and Pamela Joseph Benson, respectively, also suggest ways in which literary history can be rewritten. |
