Witch riding with Satan, 1555 illustration

Book 3, Chapter 21. On the Punishment of Witches. A story of a witch from England, not from the North. As a punishment for her evil deeds, all her family died. In her despair, she asked to be buried alive. To the right we see the empty sarcophagus she was buried in and the three chains that sealed it. The grave was broken up and the devil now takes her away on his horse. Olaus Magnus (October 1490 - August 1, 1557) was a Swedish writer and Catholic ecclesiastic. He is best remembered as the author of the famous Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus (A Description of the Northern Peoples), printed in Rome 1555, a patriotic work of folklore and history.
