The study “The Devil in everyday life, legends and literature of the Middle Ages” stands apart in the work of the most popular writer of the Silver Age Alexander Amphitheatrov (1862-1938) Having pushed away from the book of the Italian professor Arturo Count “Devil”, who focused on theological literature, the amphitheaters went much further than his original source. He made an attempt to study the life of the devil in the human mind throughout the cultural space of the Middle Ages - from the moment his detailed biography has developed at the dawn of Christianity, until the day, the idea that gave him life almost outlived itself. Brilliant erudition allowed Amphitheatrov to attract not only Western, but also Russian sources, use mythology, etc. He sets out the genealogy of Satan, talks about his physiology and psychology, describes the devilish temptations, intrigues and obsession, concerns the intricacies of demonic magic, and provides the word to those who have visited hell with eyewitnesses and cites details of the fight against the devil of the clergy
