1725 1ed Magic Spells & Wizards Andre Witchcraft Demons Witches Sorcery Occult

  
Magic Spells & Wizards Andre Witchcraft Demons Witches Sorcery Occult. Francois Saint-Andres Letters on Magic, Spells, and Wizards is one of the best if not the most important early 18. Century treatise on witchcraft and demonology. Unlike similar treatises, this work was Andres condemning many of the accepted beliefs on witchcraft, wizardry, and demons which had existed for centuries in Europe.

He refutes the beliefs that sicknesses are a result of demon-possession and all of the powers of devils are figments of a heightened imagination. He does, however, explain the attributes with which Demons are commonly associated. A rare and truly fascinating first edition of one of the best anti-witchcraft treatises of the 18. Andre, conseiller-medecin ordinaire du Roy : a quelques-uns de ses amis, au sujet de la magie, des malefices et des sorciers.

Ou il rend raison des effets les plus surprenants qu'on attribue ordinairement aux demons. Collation: Complete with all pages. Binding: Leather; tight & secure.
