[56] Giovanni Francesco Ponzinibio was a lawyer whose _De Lamiis_ was published at Venice, 1523-4. It called forth a reply, _Apologiæ tres aduersum Joannem Franciscum Ponzinibium Iurisperitum_, Venice, 1525. The edition of _De Lamiis_ I have used is Venice, 1584, in the _Thesaurus Magnorum iuris consultorum_. This reprint was met by Peña’s answer and two treatises by Bartolomeo Spina, O.P. [57] Rome, 1584. [58] De modo quo localiter transferentur [sagæ] de loco ad locum.... Probatur quod possint malefici corporaliter transferri. [59] An isti Sortilegi & Strigimagæ siue Lamiæ uere & corporaliter deferantur a dæmone uel solum in spiritu? _De Sortilegiis_, VII. [60] Sum modo istius secundæ opinionis quod deferantur in corpore. [61] Doctrina multi eorum qui sequuti sunt Lutherum, & Melanctonem, tenuerent Sagas ad conuentus accedere animi duntaxat cogitatione, & diabolica illusione interesse, allegantes quod eorum corpora inuenta sunt sæpe numero eodem loco iacentia, nec inde mora fuisse, ad hoc illud pertinens quod est in uita D. Germani, de mulierculis conuiuantibus, vt uidebantur, & tame̅ dormierant dormientes. Huiusmodi mulierculas sæpe numero decipi certum est, sed semper ita fieri non probatur.... Altera, quam uerissimam esse duco, est, nonnunquam uere Sagas transferri a Dæmone de loco ad locum, hirco, uel alteri animali fantastico vt plurimum eas simul asportanti corporaliter, & conuentu nefario interesse, & hæc sententia est multo communior Theologorum, imò & Iurisconsultorum Italiæ, Hispaniæ, & Germaniæ inter Catholicos; hoc idem tenent alii quam plurimi.
