Zamiel

Zancherius

Kenneth Scott's library included Zancherius [HK Hydra (online text)].

This is probably a reference to Ugolini Zancherius, author of Tractatus de hœreticis (Mantua, 1567; Rome, 1579). Google Books has the online text in Latin. The work is cited in the bibliography of The History of Witchcraft and Demonology, by Montague Summers (Reprinted by Citadel Press in 1993). The Internet Archive has the online text of Summers' book.

The work that Summers calls Tractatus de hœreticis is apparently the same as the Tractatus super materia hereticorum of Zanchino Ugolini, "an inquisitorial manual from the early fourteenth century. The great nineteenth-century historian Henry Charles Lea described Ugolini's work as 'one of the clearest and best manuals of practice that we possess.' . . . No modern edition exists." ["An Inquisitor in Manuscript and in Print: The Tractatus super materia hereticorum of Zanchino Ugolini," by Peter Diehl, from Siân Echard and Stephen Partridge (eds.), The Book Unbound: Editing and Reading Medieval Manuscripts and Texts, University of Toronto Press, 2004. The De Gruyter publisher website provides a one page sample as of 07/12/2024]
