At the beginning of the 17th century, a book of black magic was published, attributed to the mythical Faust and known by the title Höllenzwang. The library in Weimar owned a manuscript of this text, which Goethe was aware of. The document, which is difficult to date, is written in cabalistic signs and, according to a German gloss, contains a series of magic spells for exorcists.
