Ludovico Spoletano

The handwriting was purportedly documented by Ludovico Spoletano, an Italian conjurer who, to this day, remains a mystery to historians and archaeologists. It is possible that the author first learned about Spoletano through a French intellectual who shared the author’s fascination with “magical” languages. Their narrative is remarkable, and it is known that the two of them exchanged letters about it at one point.

The Devil, according to mythology, agreed to answer Spoletano’s questions in writing after he called him and grilling him with a series of questions. Satan is claimed to have caused a pen to float in mid-air instead of possessing the conjurer in this instance. By legend, he then directly scrawled the answers on Spoletano’s piece of paper. As a result, the works of the Devil are considered authoritative.
