This text has not previously been translated into English.
A complete English translation of Girolamo Menghi's 'Compendio dell'arte essorcistica' exists, translated by Gaetano Paxia. It was published under the title 'The Devil's Scourge: Exorcism During the Italian Renaissance' (Weiser Books/Ibis Press, 2002). While 'The Devil's Scourge' is the literal translation of Menghi's Latin work 'Flagellum Daemonum', bibliographic records (such as Healey's 'Italian Literature Before 1900') and the publisher's description confirm Paxia's work is a translation of the Italian 'Compendio'.
