Summary of narrative | ||||
Setting: | Salas | Protagonist(s): | a possessed man | |
Five devils joined forces to torment a man. He set out for Salas, but the devils prevented him from continuing on his journey. Two Franciscans came along and took him to the church. The demons grumbled that the Virgin would make them release the man. A Jew asked the devils why they did not seize Jews. One of them replied that they did not harm Jews because the latter belonged to them and served them. The Jew ran away and the devils came out of the possessed man. Everyone praised the Virgin for his deliverance. |
