Paperback. Zustand: Good. First Edition. "I have a passion: unlimited health. In order to realize this dream, I went to medical school. For many years, I was convinced that I was on the right track. Reality, however, was something else altogether. Thoughts, emotions and feelings, these invisible and untouchable antagonists invariably frustrated me in my scientific work. I then turned to alternative medicines and natural therapies, which offered other solutions for overall health. I set out in search of them to many countries and discovered the benefits they had to offer. But people continue to suffer and die all the same. Why? Why is our state of health constantly deteriorating? Why does our medical system cost so much? Why is it maintained when everyone is so dissatisfied with it? Whom does it profit? Not knowing where to go next, I turned inward. Unlimited health was waiting for me there!" - back cover. 249 pages. Clean, bright and unmarked with moderate wear.

Small folio (209 x 291 mm). 248 unnumbered leaves (without the first and last blank, as usual). Gothic type, 2 cols., 51 lines. With a woodcut in the text on fol. a2r and printer's device at the end. A single ink initial on p. a2 supplied by the owner. 18th century full calf with panelled boards and giltstamped spine label. Marbled endpapers. All edges red. Rare edition; a single copy in Great Britain. The "Fortalitatium fidei", the principal work (written ca. 1458) of the baptized Spanish Jew de Spina, is considered the "methodical and ideological foundation of the Inquisition. The book, divided into five chapters, targets chiefly Jews and Muslims" (cf. LMA I, 408f.). Of the five books, "the first [is] directed against those who deny the Divinity of Christ, the second against heretics, the third against the Jews, and the fourth against Islam and the Muslims, while the fifth book treats of the battle to be waged against the Gates of Hell. In this last book the author dwells at length upon the demons and their hatred of men; the powers they have over men and the diminution of these powers, owing to the victory of Christ on the Cross, the final condition of the demons, etc." (Catholic Encyclopaedia). "Ouvrage fort curieux de ce théologien espagnol [.] il était dit-on d'origine juive, c'est pour cela que son 'Fortalicium' pèut ètre classé dans une bibliothèque kabbalistique" (Caillet). Part 3, on the iniquities of the Jews, is a veritable encyclopaedia of medieval antisemitic libel, containing numbered lists of Jewish "cruelties" and refutations of the Jews' supposed anti-Christian arguments. The section on Islam lists the numerous Saracen wars, while the fifth book is devoted to the battle to be waged against the Gates of Hell and its resident demons, whose population the author calculates at over 133 million; this is one of the earliest printed discussions of witchcraft and a precursor to the "Malleus maleficarum", the first edition of which appeared in the same year as this present edition. - Occasional contemporary ink marginalia (some touched by the binder's knife); some slight worming, confined to blank margins. Some even browning and a weak waterstain, but a very good, wide-margined copy with an 18th century noble collection stamp (crowned Gothic letter G; not in Lugt) on the first leaf. - HC 874*.

Folio. 128 ff., complete. With half-page title woodcut, full-page woodcut on verso, large woodcut initial, and printer's device at the end (all with contemporary touches of red ink), as well as numerous fleuronee and lombardic initials in red and green, including five figurated initials. Rubricated throughout. Contemporary blindstamped dark brown calf over wooden boards, remains of engraved brass clasps. First edition of this polemic against the Bohemian Brethren, written by the author of the notorious "Malleus Maleficarum": a "Bulwark of Faith of the Holy Roman Church Against the Heresy of the Waldensians and Picards". Extremely rare: the present copy represents the hitherto unknown first impression of the first edition, still bearing a slightly different title; all other known copies printed that same year (three via OCLC, one in the Scientific Library of Olomouc, one in the Bavarian State Library), as well as the 1502 second edition, are entitled "Sancte Romane ecclesie fidei defensionis clippeum adversus waldensium seu pickardorum heresim, certas Germanie Bohemieque nationes in odium cleri ac enervatioe ecclesiatice potestatis virulenta contagione sparsim inficientes" (changing the - misspelled - "bulwark" into a "shield"). Quire signatures and pagination depart from those stated by OCLC in several details. In particular, the head-over-heels "u" in "virulenta" (here printed as "virnlenta", corrected in other editions), identifies the present variant as the earliest one. - In the year 1500, 15 years after he first published his "Malleus Maleficarum", Institoris had been installed by Pope Alexander VI as inquisitor to Bohemia and Moravia, where he was to take action agains heretics, sorcerers, and witches (cf. Tschacher). In the present work, his last to see publication, "he once more invokes his 'Malleus' and his earlier sermons against witchery and its doubters. The Bohemian Waldenses, he argues, had not only perpetrated numerous heresies, but also questioned the legitimacy of the witch trials. It is telling that Kramer, in his final polemic, would interpret the heresies of the Waldenses and witches as conjoined harbingers of the approaching apocalypse" (ibid.). The inquisitor who prided himself on having sent no fewer than 200 witches to the stake discusses other heresies as well: fol. 86ff. contains an entire chapter "De origine legis machometice". - One of the most extensive and technically ambitious works to leave the press of the itinerant German printer Konrad Baumgarten, active in Danzig, Olomouc, Breslau, and Frankfurt/Oder between 1498 and 1509. The page count is exceedingly confused, as in all copies. Indeed, only a single leaf in the entire "a" gathering bears a signature: the second, counted as "a iii" in error; thus agreeing with all copies available for comparison. The count of the first four leaves in our copy has therefore been corrected to "a i-iv" in red ink by a contemporary hand. - From the library of the disputatious Bohemian Franciscan friar John Aquensis, who in 1502 was to publish his own polemic against the "Picards", with his marginalia and his autograph ownership on the title page. "Although Johannes Aquensis, Jan Vodnansky in Czech, was one of the most active Catholic writers at the turn of the Middle Ages to the Age of Reformation, he has been largely ignored by scholarship so far. Born in Vodhany (some 30 kilometers to the north-west of Budweis and considered Utraquist) around 1460, he attended the school of St. Henry's in Prague since 1473, later studying Divinity at the University there. After obtaining his Bachelor's degree in 1480, he joined the Observant Franciscans and soon became one of the most vocal antagonists of the Utraquists, Begards, Waldensians, Bohemian Brethren, and other heretics. He disappears after 1534 [.] Most of his works, almost entirely ignored by scholarship but apparently marked by a curious mixture of erudition, bellicose dialectics, vivid imagination, and credulity, are known in manuscripts only; a very few were printed, and some must be presumed lost or awaiting discovery" (cf. Dietrich Kurze, Märkische Waldenser und Böhmische Brüder. Zur brandenburgischen Ketzergeschichte und ihrer Nachwirkung im 15. und 16. Jh., in: H. Beumann [ed.], Festschrift für Walter Schlesinger II [Cologne 1974], p. 456-502, at: 480). - Of the utmost rarity: this present first edition is not listed in German or international auction records. The last copy of any edition in the trade was that formerly in the Broxbourne collection (1502 second ed.: Sotheby's, 8 May 1978, lot 408, to Breslauer). - Some staining to first and last leaf; occasional insignificant waterstaining, otherwise very clean, showing very little browning. Altogether an excellent copy in its contemporary, original binding. The individual blindstamps could not be traced in the Kyriss or Schunke collections; the clasp hitches are engraved with an invocation of the Virgin ("MARIA AVE"). Text carefully rubricated throughout; the inhabited initials depict dragons and other mythical creatures, as well as the bearded head of an old man. - Not in VD 16 or ISTC. Cf. Panzer VII, 486, 1.

First edition in English, out of series from 1,275 numbered copies. Remy's seminal work on the worship of demons was published in Latin in 1595. A judge for the Duke of Lorraine, Remy gained a contemporary reputation as the "scourge of the witches" and his personal execution tally is believed to be around 2,000. The editor, Montague Summers (1880-1948), was an eccentric scholar ordained as deacon in the Church of England in 1908. Rumours of studies in Satanism plagued his career and in 1909 he was received into the Church of Rome. He is best known for his 1928 translation of the Malleus Maleficarum, to which he added much of his own character, including emphasizing the misogynistic language of the original text. Summers devoted much of his energies to scholarly research, including championing Restoration drama, and his published studies were backed up by immense learning. Quarto. Title page printed in red and black. Text printed in two columns. Original orange quarter buckram, spine lettered in gilt, brown buckram sides, top edge orange, others untrimmed. With dust jacket. Bookplate of one R. P. Collett. Minor rubbing to spine, faint browning to endpapers and foxing to edges; jacket unclipped, spine browned, nicks to rubbed extremities, central split to front joint of jacket, tape repair to spine ends on verso: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.

First edition, first impression, number 943 of 950 numbered copies. The Gothic Quest was the first instalment of Summers's two part study of the gothic novel and was followed by A Gothic Bibliography in 1940, a work still much referenced by collectors today. Montague Summers was an eccentric scholar ordained as deacon in the Church of England in 1908. "Rumours of studies in Satanism and a charge of pederasty, of which he was acquitted, terminated this phase of his career", and in 1909 he was received into the Church of Rome. Despite presenting himself as a Catholic priest from then on, asking to be addressed as Reverend and holding mass in his own chapel, no record of his ordination has ever been found. He is best known for his 1928 translation of the Malleus Maleficarum, to which he added much of his own character, and which helped cement the work in the popular imagination. Alongside his occult studies, to which he lent his complete credulity, Summers devoted much of his energies to the promotion of contemporarily unpopular literature. This included championing Restoration drama and, as here, the gothic novel. His scholarship was guided by enthusiastic idiosyncrasy, though backed up by immense learning. Octavo. Portrait frontispiece and 15 illustrated plates. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Cloth sharp, foxing to outer leaves and plates, a couple of tender gutters due to heavy book block, remaining firm; thin jacket well-preserved and unclipped, spine panel browned, minor creasing and nicks to top edge: a near-fine copy in like jacket.

First edition of the most influential witch-hunting guide of the 16th century. This work "brought witchcraft into the new era, supplanting the scholastic Malleus maleficarum as the go-to manual for understanding and prosecuting witchcraft" (Krause, p. 119). De la demonomanie des sorciers ("On the Demon-Mania of Witches") originated from Bodin's work as a lawyer. One of the greatest legal minds of his era, he became involved in witch trials while working as prosecutor for the king in north-eastern France. The treatise is divided into four books. The first contains one of the earliest attempts at a legal definition of a witch: "One who knowing God's law tries to bring about some act through an agreement with the devil" (p. 1). The other books respectively deal with magic in general, the means to prevent spells, and the investigation and trial of witches. "Bodin asserts that witches are transported through the air, that demons assume human form, and that men are transformed into animals. He believes in lycanthropy or werwolves and in the marks of sorcerers. In their professed cures they employ unnatural remedies and poisons like the brain of a cat or head of a raven" (Thorndike, p. 526). The book also includes reports of exorcisms and famous trial cases. At the end, Bodin attacks the prominent Dutch demonologist Johann Weyer, who had stated - in his De praestigiis daemonum (1563) - that so-called witches were women suffering from mental illness. The book was a Renaissance best-seller and the most widely read work on demonology of the period: it went through 23 editions and was translated from the original French into German, Italian, and Latin. It "exercised tremendous influence over the judges who heard witchcraft cases and was the direct cause of a considerable increase in the number of trials and executions for witchcraft following its appearance and wide dissemination" (Pearl, p. 112).

Rare first edition in Italian, and the first treatise on demonology to be printed in the Italian language. A translation of Pico's Latin work Strix (1523), this book made witchcraft knowledge accessible for the first time to the wider public, who could not read Latin. Rare in commerce, with only two other copies recorded at auction in the past 50 years. The treatise was composed after a ferocious witch-hunt that took place in Mirandola (near Ferrara) between 1522 and 1525. Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirandola (14701533), distinguished humanist and nephew of the famous philosopher, was ruler of the city at the time. He became involved in the trials of dozens of people, ten of which were burned on a pyre. These death sentences caused such a widespread resentment among the public that Pico felt forced to justify them; composed in less than ten days, Strix sive de Ludificatione Daemonum was meant to serve this purpose. The original Latin was almost immediately translated into Italian and published in the present edition by Leandro Alberti, Dominican friar of the Congregation of Lombardy and later inquisitor of Bologna. Alberti rushed to make the treatise accessible to a "bourgeois and peasant audience" by "paraphrasing difficult vocabulary and explicating most of its arcane references. Along with implied readers, Alberti envisioned implied listeners, unable to read even simple Italian yet capable of comparing their folkloric witchcraft ideas with Pico della Mirandola's 'scientific' explanations" (Golden, p. 665). Largely based on the Malleus Maleficarum, this work is written in form of a dialogue between Apistio, a Christian who does not believe in witchcraft, and three interlocutors who attempt to convince him otherwise - the wise Fronimo, the inquisitor Dicasto, and a witch. The discussion addresses traditional topics such as the interpretation of Classical gods as demons, the witches' flight to the Sabbath, and the power of demons on human imagination. One of the most curious arguments used by Fronimo relates to the recent discovery of the New World: how can Apistio trust the merchants who declare that they saw the "Indian coast", but not the men who witnessed demonic manifestations? (p. 35 verso). At the end, Apistio is convinced. This work became a classic of demonological literature, later referenced by major inquisitors and authors including Bartolomeo Spina and Jean Bodin; Torquato Tasso read and cited it in the 1580s. It is considered "the most systematic and impressive refutation of arguments against the reality of witchcraft" published "in the century between The Hammer of Witches (1486) and Jean Bodin's On the Demon-Mania of Witches (1580)" (Stephens 2013, p. 114). A "modern" encyclopaedia on the subject, "Gianfrancesco Pico's Strix was an innovative description of what witches did and why. It articulated the stereotypes of witchcraft more clearly than formal treatises like the Malleus, because its dialogic format enlivened their arid ratiocination. Leandro Alberti's 1524 translation strove to provide greater clarity through paraphrase, expansion, and colloquial Italian" (Stephens 2020, p. 95). EDIT 16, CNCE 58466; USTC 848435. Richard M.
