Popis:	This article analyses the figure of the Devil and the different characters that are covered under this term, such as Satan, Lucifer, Belial, Samael and Mephistopheles. Also, it explores his appearance in literature, mainly in those works that deal with the Faustian myth, as is the case in the books of Christopher Marlowe, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Thomas Mann. Then, it analyses the legal aspects of the Faustian pact both in its form and content. Finally, we approach the literary presence of the Devil in the arbitration field, through the analysis of Giacomo Paladino's Liber Belial of 1382.
