Dissertation on Magical Idolatry
De idolatria magica dissertatio
First Translation
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly catalogs (including UNESCO Index Translationum, Open Library, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of any English translation of Jean Filesac's 1609 work. Filesac is a niche early 17th-century author, and his works remain largely untranslated in modern academic literature. Given the lack of any records for a translation, it is highly probable that this is a first English translation.
