Please see photos as part of condition report 1970 1st Edition (Thus), DJ DEMONOLATRY Privy Councillor to The Most Serene Duke of Lorraine, and Public Advocate to his Duchy In 3 Books. Translated by E.A. Ashwin Edited and Introduction by Rev. Montague Summers Drawn from the capitol trails of 900 persons, more or less, who within the last fifteen years have in Lorraine paid the penalty of death for the crime of witchcraft. By Nicholas Remy Nicholas Remy, Latin Remigius (1530–1616) was a French magistrate who claimed in his book to have overseen the execution of more than 800 witches and the torture or persecution of a similar number. His work shows much influence from Jean Bodin. Remy wrote a number of poems and several books on history, but is known for his Daemonolatreiae libri tres ("Demonolatry"), written in Latin and published in Lyon in 1595. The book was reprinted several times, translated into German, and eventually replaced the Malleus Maleficarum as the most recognized handbook of witch-hunters in parts of Europe. According to Remy, the Devil could appear before people in the shape of a black cat or man, and liked Black Masses. Demons could also have sexual relationships with women and, in case they did not agree, rape them. Illustrated By: N/A Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: Yes, Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Published By: Frederick Muller Ltd, London quarto (4to 9+1? 2 × 12 241 × 305), Pages 188 ISBN: 9780584109085 Daemonolatreiae libri tres is a 1595 work by Nicholas Rémy. It was edited by Montague Summers and translated as Demonolatry in 1929. Along with the Malleus Maleficarum, it is generally considered one of the most important early works on demons and witches. The book was drawn from the capital trials of roughly 900 persons who were tried and put to death in a fifteen-year span in the Duchy of Lorraine for the crime of witchcraft." The Daemonolatreiae contains citations from a great many authors, ancient and modern, including Johann Weyer, who is cited as an authority as if there were no differences between his position and that of Rémy. More importantly, however, the book is also based on cases from the archives, but Rémy seems never to have returned the cases that he used, so it is impossible to check his account of any particular case against the original records.
