Abstract
An attempt is made in this article to describe, classify and interpret those parts of demonological legend texts, which call upon either their authenticity or dubiousness. I shall be referring to such textual parts as authenticity formulae, differentiating the type of formulae used (temporal, spatial /local, testimony-like or supported by testimony, and narrator stance formulae), explaining the manner in which the narrators shape the formulae and the way in which they achieve their persuasive function.
Keywords
