It enjoyed vast popularity both in its own time and in the three centuries which followed, appearing in well over twenty editions. During this time, it served as the definitive textbook and manual for priests involved in the conduct of exorcisms. It was popular even in nations that had recently become Protestant.áWritten in a relatively accessible style, readily comprehensible to the average parish priest, and firmly grounded in scholastic theology, it is an incredible resource for the Church today.Translated by Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB, with a Foreword by Fr. Cliff Ermatinger, this classic manual by Fr. Girolamo Menghi, known as the 'Father of the ExorcistâÇÖs Art' will open your eyes as it presents the many ways in which the enemy of our souls seeks to trap and ensnare and destroy those destined to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.This classic 16th century manual on exorcism and spiritual warfare was widely read by both parish priests and the laity.

'Fr. Menghi provides us with sound doctrine and discipline and pastoral teaching. The sagacious counsels herein contained are the fruit of a centuries-long distillation process. Worthy of mention here is MenghiâÇÖs perspicacious understanding of human nature and the pitfalls that await the unvigilant soul. 'At the center of this ministry is not the demon, nor the exorcist, nor even the afflicted member of ChristâÇÖs Mystical Body. At the center of it all is Jesus Christ.
