Richard Bovet (born c. 1641)[1] was an English author of the 17th century who wrote Pandaemonium, or the Devil's Cloister (1684), a book on demonology.[2]
Bovet was virulently anti-Catholic, and his book often equates Catholicism with witchcraft. His work was influenced by that of Joseph Glanvill and Henry More.[1]
