The legend is based upon the career of Johann Faust, a 16th-century German scholar who experimented with alchemy and magic. An account of his life that incorporated medieval legends of selling souls to the devil, published in 1587, provided the basis for Christopher Marlowe's Tragical History of Dr. Faustus (1588–92).
