Five studies of unusual individuals: Hadrian Beverland, a Dutch savant of the late seventeenth century who was persecuted for his heretical opinions on sex and religion and eventually fell into psychosis; Emanuel Swedenborg who in late middle-age began to experience visions which led him to set down a complex mystical philosophy; Johann Jetzer, a Dominican whose embrace of heretical views led to his being burned on Inquisatorial pyres; St. Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, whose religious fervour peaked when flogged or humiliated, and Eusapia Palladino, one of the most famous of the physical mediums of her day. From the collection of Dr. M. H. Coleman, with his ex-libris seal blind-stamped on the front free endpaper-and inscribed to him by the author on the front blank "To Mike, from Ding".
