The Devil: His Origin, Greatness, and Decadence (English Edition)

"The Devil, His Origin, Greatness, and Decadence" is a wonderfully well written mid 19th century tract of rationalism. Originally by Reville, this edition is translated into English, and originally contained notes which have been mostly omitted to retain the original intent of the document.

It documents the history of Satan from his humble disembodied origins to his medieval physical form and his eventual fall during the enlightenment, as well as the burning times, inquisition, and various pogroms of the era. It is one of the better works detailing the life and times of Satan himself.
