DELRIO, Martin Anton (1551-1608). Disquisitionum Magicarum Libri Sex. Venice: Jacobum Sarzinam, 1660. 8vo. Frontispiece, woodcut initials. Contemporary vellum with manuscript titles on spine (dust stains, soiling, notations, partially disbound at rear). Disquisitionum Magicarum Libri Sex was originally printed in three volumes in 1599 and 1600. Traditionally regarded as a slightly lesser version of Heinrich Kramer?s Malleus Maleficarum, Delrio?s text was nonetheless hugely popular and would be printed well into the 18th century - long after other, similar works had gone out of print.
