Fugite partes adversae. A protective invocation against the devil in an unpublished Latin inscription on metal
Abstract
This paper presents the study and edition of a text engraved on a golden metal sheet that contains a protective invocation against the devil. The text reproduces numerous acronyms of protective formulas that copy the written amulet against the devil of San Antonio de Padua, transmitted in various printed in the Modern Age. The main hypothesis is that the textual reference that is copied in this inscription comes from a print from the 18th Century, although the execution of the epigraph could be later.
