Processus Satanae contra genus humanum, sive Tractatus procuratoris editus sub nomine diaboli

Analysis of content:

1. a1r Processus Satanae contra genus humanum [Titulus.] ‘Libellus procuratoris in quo dyabolus producit litem coram iudice omnipotente Deo contra genus humanum pro quo beata virgo Maria tanquam procuratrix et advocata comparens tandem pugnam obtinuit et inimici versuciam confudit.’ Incipit: ‘[A]ccessit Ascaron ad omnipotentis Dei presentiam et ait: Creator omnium ubique iusticia ...’ [b6r] Explicit: ‘... O clemens o pia o dulcissima virgo Maria. AMEN’ [ISTC: "Erroneously attributed to Bartolus de Saxoferrato"; the attribution appears in other versions (all Bartolus' main collection of treatises); on this see now B. Pasciuta: Il Diavolo in Paradiso (Rome: Viella, 2015).] [According to Pasciuta, two main variants of this text exist, one beginning with 'Nostis fratres', the other with 'Accessit Mascharon'; in this edition and a few other ones, the incipit reads 'Ascaron'.]
2. b6r Colophon: ‘M CCCC Lxxviii. Die Xvii Februarii. Tractatus procuratoris sub nomine dyaboli editus impressus fuit et finitus die ut supra Venetiis. Per Gerardum de Flandria.’
