Within the pages of Candido Brognolo's Alexicacon, a 17th-century theological and medical treatise, readers encounter a comprehensive exploration of "maleficia," or afflictions attributed to witchcraft and evil magic. This work, deemed culturally significant, provides practical guidance for both exorcists and physicians on recognizing and addressing such conditions. Brognolo, a General Lecturer of Sacred Theology, delves into the causes of these phenomena, considering the roles of demonic influence, natural elements, and moral understanding.

Originally published for ecclesiastical and medical professionals, this volume offers a unique historical perspective on the intersection of faith, medicine, and the supernatural. It lays out the specific functions of exorcists and doctors in confronting what were believed to be magically induced illnesses, presenting a detailed framework for diagnosis and intervention. This book provides insight into the historical understanding of maleficium, offering a direct view into the intellectual and spiritual challenges of its era.
