To provide evidence of Grandier's diabolical deeds, a book of manuscripts and papers showing [[diabolical pact|pacts]] with various demons were produced for the court's scrutiny. These were shown to be written in Grandier's own handwriting. The pacts contained the infernal signatures of [[Satan]], [[Lucifer]], [[Beelzebub]], Leviathan, Elimi, and [[Astaroth]]. Strangely, this pact was written backwards in Latin, but was found to be in Grandier's own handwriting. | To provide evidence of Grandier's diabolical deeds, a book of manuscripts and papers showing [[diabolical pact|pacts]] with various demons were produced for the court's scrutiny.

The priests also performed exorcisms of the nuns for the justices of the court, who questioned the demons as they were tormented by the [[exorcist]]. | The priests also performed exorcisms of the nuns for the justices of the court, who questioned the demons as they were tormented by the [[exorcist]]. | ||
