Le Miracle de Thophile (The Miracle of Theophilus) is a thirteenth-century miracle

play written in Langues d'ol, circa 1261 by the trouvre Rutebeuf.]

The play is a religious drama, drawn from traditional accounts of the lives of the
Saints and the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the play, Thophile sells his soul to the Devil.
Overcome by remorse, he prays to the Virgin Mary, who delivers him from the
cursed pact.[2]

The play refers to the legendary history of St. Theophilus of Adana, who according
to traditional saints' legends made a pact with the Devil and repented of it.

This play is the original source of an influential invocation to the Devil (in an
unknown language). The original text from the French play is given to the character
Salatin apparently a version of Saladin who in this play is labelled a sorcerer;
Salatin uses these words to invoke the Devil:

(Ci conjure Salatins le deable.)

Bagahi laca bachah,
Lamac cahi achabah,
Karrelyos.
Lamac lamec bachalyos,
Cabahagi sabalyos,
Baryolas.
Lagozatha cabyolas,
Samahac et famyolas,
Harrahya.
Another French miracle play from the same time period by Jean Bodel, Jeu de Saint
Nicolas, also contains an invocation to the Devil in an unknown language.[3]
