Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The entry focuses on Giovan Battista della Porta who, in his famous work "Magia naturalis" (Naples 1558), inserted a paragraph in which he described the preparation of witches' ointment. Although completely marginal, the recipe attracted the attention not only of many other scholars, but also of the Inquisition, who from then on accused all the production of the Neapolitan scientist.
