Abstract:

“The Ancient Egyptian Demonology Project: Second Millennium BCE” was intended and funded as a three-year project (2013-2016) to explore the world of Ancient Egyptian demons in the 2nd millennium BC. It intends to create a classification and ontology of benevolent and malevolent demons. Whereas ancient Egyptians did not use a specific term denoting “demons”, liminal beings known from various other cultures such as δαίμονες, ghosts, angels, Mischwesen, genies, etc., were nevertheless described in texts and illustrations. The project aims to collect philological, iconographical and archaeological

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the demonology of William of Auvergne, to determine why and how he constructed his theories out of contemporary lore about demons and other spirits. William was master of theology in the University of Paris and bishop of Paris from 1228 until his death in 1249, in which position he served as a major advisor to the young Louis IX. In addition to being one of the most politically influential people in the French kingdom, William was one of the greatest thinkers of his generation, producing numerous works of theology, philosophy and science. William's efforts combine

Abstract:

Many philosophers throughout Christianity’s history have asserted the existence of intermediary beings or, in more familiar terms, angels and demons. According to Christianity, God, angels, demons, and human souls are all thought to share a common nature, namely ‘spirit.’ This ‘spirit’ is thought to signify immateriality. Yet each is said to interact with the physical world. God, who is conceived of as omnipotent, can interact with the world simply at will. Human souls are paired with bodies which provides them the equipment to interact with the world. Angels receive special assistance from Go

Abstract:

Este trabalho teve como finalidade a análise da relação existente entre alguns textos bíblicos e a tradição dos Vigilantes do judaísmo enoquita. A tradição enoquita nasceu dentro da reflexão sobre o problema do mal, e atribuiu a origem do mesmo à rebeldia de seres angelicais contra Deus. Estes anjos se corromperam ao ensinar segredos proibidos aos homens, e ao terem se entregado a relações sexuais com as mulheres. Desta relação antinatural, foram originados seres híbridos, os Nephilins, que macularam a terra. Através das narrativas dos espíritos dos Nephilins mortos, e também dos anjos caídos,

Abstract:

This thesis examines the meaning and use of narratives of spirits in the settlement of Scammon Bay, a Central Yup’ik community of about 500 people on the southwestern shore of the Bering Sea in Alaska. I contend that Scammon Bay people’s narratives of spirits make powerful statements about the well-being of, and disorder in, the world. These stories illustrate how spirits are responsive beings who are part of Scammon Bay’s sentient environment. I argue that they are aware of, and reactive to, human actions and people’s moral failings. Most residents consider telling and listening to stories ab

Abstract:

"The Devil in the Detail" explores the rationality of magical belief on the early modern English stage. I examine how demons and demonic magic were depicted in the theatre, arguing that playwrights ascribed a sense of realism to the devil’s methods. In explaining the devil's modus operandi and exposing the limitations of his magic, the stage validates supernatural belief and depicts the devil’s craft as plausible. More broadly, this thesis is situated within the ongoing debate over the relationship between magic and scientific thought in early modern Europe, confirming that demonology was not

A demonologia é entendida como uma literatura controversa dotada de dimensão cognitiva e social e dedicada ao preternatural, ou seja, a eventos que estariam nas fronteiras entre o natural e o sobrenatural.

The subject of demons and demonology has fascinated scholars and non-scholars, ancient and modern alike; it is not surprising that much work has been done on the topic by biblical scholars too. Chapter 1 places the present study within the existing scholarship showing that the early works on ‘OT demonology’ were influenced by comparative religion, anthropology, and an increasing interest in Mesopotamian and Canaanite parallels as well as a concern to seek and find vestiges of ancient religious beliefs in the Old Testament.

According to Walter Stephens, witch-theorists in the fifteenth century developed the witchcraft belief of demon copulation in order to prove the existence of demons and therefore the existence of God. In England, during the mid-seventeenth century, Cartesian and materialist philosophies spread. These new philosophies stated there was nothing in the world but corporeal substances, and these substances had to conform to natural law. This, the philosophers argued, meant witchcraft was impossible. Certain other philosophers believed a denial of any incorporeal substance would lead to atheism, and

Between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the 17th century, western Europe is the stage for one of history's demonological crisis.

Nevertheless, witchcraft is first and foremost an object of knowledge---demonology---, which many writers, jurists and theologians attempted to construct, define and constantly re-evaluate.
