Martin Delrio, author of Disquisitiones magicae (Investigations into Magic, 1599-1600) probably never persecuted or met a witchcraft suspect, yet his name is a byword for credulity and cruelty. Jan Machielsen recovers the lost world of Delrio's scholarship set in the context of the Catholic Reformation, rather than the straitjacket of demonology.
