Patronage of Angels & Combat of Demons was the eloquent title of a book published in 1652. According to its author, the book was ‘an illustration of the benefits conferred on men by guardian angels […], and also of the ploys and challenges of demons.’ Nevertheless the prominence of demons was much more obvious. It is important to notice that the treatise reflected the author´s intense experience in the mountains near Jaca during the time he spent as a parish priest, when a serious epidemic of demonic possession broke out. It was to last five years, and sixty-two women were allegedly affected.
