Abstract

This work explores the relationship between the demonological discourse provided by Alonso de Espina in the Liber quintus of his Fortalitium fidei (written c. 1460) and the main concerns expressed by the friar throughout his work. His demonological disquisitions allow him to link the visible and invisible world (especially, vis-a-vis those who did not believe in the Beyond) and place emphasis on the influence of the transcendental plane on Christians’ fate, both at collective and at individual levels, thus instigating true conversion and a change in customary practices.
