Note 8 — Chapter XXIV · Witchcraft.
Reading edition
In the scene of Christ’s delivering souls from purgatory, the Devil is represented as blowing lustily a horn to alarm his comrades, and crying, ‘Out, out, aronzt!’ to the invader. He fights with a three-pronged fork. He and his victims are painted black,8 in contrast with the souls of the saved, which are white. The hair was considered very important.9 When he went to battle, even his fiery nature was sometimes represented in a way that must have been more ludicrous than impressive.10
