Abstract: Demons in the Middle Ages
were primarily known as creatures that
could feel only envy, anger, and
malicious glee. But there remained an
undercurrent in both scholastic thought
and monastic tales that also understood
demons as creatures once capable−and
perhaps still so−of love. This paper
examines the capacity for love and
friendship attributed to demons in the
thirteenth century. It shows how love
could be seen as the motivating emotion
in their original fall from Heaven, and
explores the role love is subsequently
thought to have played in both their
relationships with each other and their
amatory and sexual relationships with
humans.
Devils that glare at passers-by from
church facades or leer maliciously at
unfortunate sinners in medieval artworks
and manuscript illuminations constitute
the familiar faces of medieval demons.
From the miracle tales of medieval
monastic culture to high medieval
scholastic explorations of the nature of
the supernatural world and its

inhabitants, demons are overwhelmingly
characterized as irascible and
malevolent beings, fuelled solely by envy,
wrath, and hatred. Yet there remains a
line of thought−albeit tenuous−running
through these genres that remembers
demons otherwise: as beings possessed
of both a facility and a desire for that
finest of emotions, love. This article
explores the capacity for love attributed
by thirteenth-century writers to demons
in the time before their fall from Heaven,
while they were still angels, following
their fall as a cohort united in a single
aim of persecution and misery, and in
their troubled relations with humans.
Thinkers in the twelfth century had
explored the boundlessness of love that
existed between God and the human soul
in the dawning of mystic theology, the
nature of desire in the flowering of both
hetero- and homosexual erotic Latin
verse, and the power of friendship
(
amicitia) between men (and even, in
Heloise’s case, between men and
women), particularly within monastic
contexts. Yet when it comes to
