Ludovico Spoletano conjuring the devil to ask it a question. Spoletano claims that a strange force took the pen, which seemed suspended in the air, and rapidly wrote what is facsimiled. Spoletano the handed the writing over to Albonesi who was unable to decipher it. In fact no one has been able to decipher the text to this day.
