    • 1478, Luigi Pulci, Morgante, Ch. 22 stanza 102:
      Malagigi non volle gittar l'arte
      Però che ne facea gran conscienzia
      E non si può far sempre in ogni parte;
      Convien ch'a molte cose abbi avvertenzia
      E veste consacrate e certe carte
      Esorcizzate con gran diligenzia,
      Pentacol, candarie, sigilli e lumi,
      E spade e sangue e pentole e profumi.
