Rare anonymous pamphlet examining and disproving the claims of demoniac possession by a young woman in her early twenties. It includes the report of her exorcism and the "Extraict des Registres de Parlement" concerning her case at end. Barbier states that the work has been attributed to Michel Marescot, doctor of medicine in Paris, or Simon Pitre, his son-in-law, also a doctor. Barbier I, 1051; BM/STC French p. 84; Norman 642.
