- catalog abstract ""Sinistrari was an advisor to the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition in Rome. He was considered an expert on exorcism and wrote of the effects (during excorsicms) of various plants and other substances including cubeb, cardamom, ginger and nutmeg. He was also considered an expert on demonology, sins relating to sexuality and all combinations thereof including investigations of those individuals accused of sexual relations with demonkind. Allegations along these lines became staples of later Inquisition investigations of those accused of witchcraft."--goodreads.com (about the author). "...
