Note 139 — DISSERTATION II.

Reading edition

The incident of the weasel in this story is manifestly borrowed from a similar relation in the chronicle of Helinandus, a monk of the twelfth century, from which it is inserted in Wierus De præstigiis dæmonum, lib. i. cap. 14, as in allusion of the devil.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
