BODIN, Jean (1530-1596). La Demonomanie des Sorciers. Paris: Jacques du Puys, 1581.
4° (225 x 160mm). Woodcut device on title, woodcut initials. (Occasional light waterstaining, tiny marginal wormtrack to some leaves at beginning, wormtrack to inner margin of several leaves, C1 with marginal paperflaw just touching text.) Contemporary limp vellum, manuscript title on spine (some chips and staining, lacking ties). Provenance: deleted ownership inscription on title — annotations on final endpaper.
Second edition. First published in 1580, Bodin's treatise on witch hunting enjoyed huge success. This widely studied book was intended to demonstrate both the existence of sorcerers and the legality of their condemnation on the basis of 'experience' and respect for res judicatae. However, his superstitious belief in sorcery found him no more favour with the church than his advocacy of religious toleration, and all his works were placed on the Index in 1628. Adams B-2222; Caillet R7023 (first edition); Tchemerzine II, 246; Thorndike VI, 526-27.
