A Demonologist is one who is referred to as a Master of all that is Demonic, his arts include magic, abstract sciences, alchemy, precious stone mastery, mastery of the languages, History, Prophecy, Divinity, Pneumatology and Moral Philosophy.
Very little is known about demonology before 1160 BC but the writings from Wolfram von Eschenbach (1170B.C.-1220B.C.) state that Magic was first conceived in a city called Persida and that a Nomad named Klingsor traveled there and brought back with him the art of Magically effecting whatever he wished. When Klingsor found the strength of his true powers he began to brag about how sly and cunning he was to get women into bed, but that served him no justice after he got caught sleeping with the kings wife. Klingsor was castrated and turned into a Eunuch and never again looked favorably upon man nor woman again, he enjoyed seeing other people suffer and that was the only thing that gave him great joy. This was one of the first recorded examples of the weak becoming empowered by sacrificing themselves to the Devils and Demons in exchange for sweet revenge.
Magic taken on many forms such as Elemental, White, Dark, Black, Etc and then Demonology was given it's own Category.
Once Jesus Christ died on the cross and the Catholic Church was founded, there were many accounts and happenings that were blamed on by Demons. Seizures were one of them, the Catholic Church looked at Seizures as the workings of Demons trying to overtake a person’s body as well as his soul. It was not until the early days of medicine that these Seizures were found to be caused by the body responding to a disease in which there was no cure for at the time. Regardless there is more proof of Demonology between when Jesus died and the Middle Ages than any other time span in history.
From about the Middle Ages up unto the early 1800's the greatest years of Demonology (The Golden Era) was that of the European Witch Craze. Even thou thousands of people died a horrible death, it inspired many Demonologists to continue there work but trying hard not to get caught, however the Art of Demonology Died Off after the end of that era and was only carried on by a hand full of Theologians.
