A curious book called “The Devil in Britain and America” by John Ashton (1896) reproduced an image of some writing that…


“is supposed to be the only specimen of Satanic calligraphy in existence and is taken from the ‘Introductio in Chaldaicam Linguam,’ by Albonesi (1532). The author says that by the conjuration of Ludovico Spoletano the Devil was called up, and adjured to write a legible and clear answer to a question asked him. Some invisible power took the pen, which seemed suspended in the air, and rapidly wrote what is facsimiled. The writing was given to Albonesi (who, however, confesses that no one can decipher it), and his chief printer reproduced it very accurately.” (Preface, pp.v-vi)
