El esclavo del demonio es una obra de teatro del dramaturgo español Antonio Mira de Amescua, publicada en 1984 por Ediciones Cátedra. La trama se centra en la leyenda hagiográfica portuguesa, donde Fray Gil vende su alma al diablo a cambio de aprender los secretos de la nigromancia, similar a la leyenda de Fausto. Esta edición de Letras Hispánicas cuenta con 186 páginas y ofrece una exploración profunda de temas religiosos y morales en el contexto del teatro clásico español.
Antonio Mira de Amescua, Spanish dramatist, was born at Guadix (Granada) about 1578. He is said, but doubtfully, to have been the illegitimate son of one Juana Perez. He took orders, obtained a canonry at Guadix, and settled at Madrid early in the 17th century. He is mentioned as a prominent dramatist in Rojas Villandrandos Loa (1603), which was written several years before it was published. In 1610, being then arch-dean of Guadix, he accompanied the count de Lemos to Naples, and on his return to Spain was appointed (1619) chaplain to the Cardinale-Infante Ferdinand of Austria; he is referred to as still alive in Montalbán's Para todos (1632), and he collaborated with Montalbán and Calderón in Polifemo y Circe, printed in 1634. The date of his death is not known.
