Johann Van der Waeyen (1639-1701) was a Frisian Minister, scholar and controversialist. In 1677 he was forced to leave his position in Middelburg and move to Franeker. [See M'Clintock, Cyclopaedia of Biblical Lit.] Among his better known works is a commentary on Balthasar Bekker's book on witchcraft. Van der Waeyen's interest in demonology is also apparent in this collection of tracts which contains two essays (485 pages) on the demon AZAZEL who was associated with the Israelite scape-goat ritual. The book also contains a commentary on Paul's Epistle to the Galatians and several other essays.
