PACT - DEMONS. A pact (certainly fraudulent, and constructed by enemies of the victim) supposedly drawn up by the French priest, Urbain Grandier and seven demons, and used in evidence at his trial at Loudun, in 1634. Written in mirror writing. With the aid of a mirror, it is possible to make out the supposed signatures and (entirely fanciful) sigils of Satanas, Beelzebub, Lucifer [contracted to Lcfr], Elimi, Leviathan and Astaroth. It is subscripted by the alleged amanuensis (scriptor), the demon Baalberith (contracted to Blbrth scrpt), and his sigil. Partly on the evidence of this document, Urbain Grandier was convicted of being a witch, and was burned to death.
