For 1,400 years the Faust legend
the sale of a human soul to a devil
has existed. The first recorded hint
Of it's vitality is given in the sixth CEN
fury story Of '"Theophilus" That
story suited the early Christians in
their efforts to stamp out the NEGRO
mancing devices of evilly disposed per-
sons prone to seek power by unholy
means. The association Of the name
Of Faust however, with the legend is
not more than 400 yards old. TIL
Iikeliest prototype of the modern
Faust is the man of the same name
who in Cracow boldly proclaimed him
self a professor of magic. In the six
teenth century stories Helen of Troy
was bestowed by Mephistopheles upon
Faust, and not until the middle of the
eighteenth century does there appear
a shadowy Margaret in the form of a
beautiful but poor girl" who after
ward develops into the Margaret OF
Goethe.
