This is something more than a translation: an example of the "mediating interpretation" discussed below, pages 311-2. [231] THE FIVE LITERARY BIBLES knowledge — fused in an ardor of religious devotion, devotion of course of the Catholic type. In any version of the story Christian theology must play a part; in the Mighty Magician we find successive articles of the faith dilated upon for page after page with untiring enthusiasm, a devout exuberance reflect- ing audiences that only Spain could pro...duce.

Lucifer acknowl- edges himself as Antichrist, as Satan, as the Serpent, as the one who tempted the first father of mankind, and vainly tempted its God ia his human form ; he is the Son of the Morning, fallen from heaven, and going to and fro in the earth, armed with the very instrument of hate that blasted him — lightning anticipates his coming and the thunder rolls behind.
