Abstract:
In the early modern period, demons and evil spirits don't only occupy the minds of clergymen like Castanega, Ciruelo and Delrio as can be seen in their scientific documents, but they also crowd the stages of Spanish Golden Age theatre. On the basis of the comedia El cura de Madrilejos, this article examines the overlaps of demonological discourses coming from theology, literature, medicine, law and stage technology. The analysis is focused on the phenomena of sorcery, possession and exorcism which will be situated in their multi-`discursive historical context.
