Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, wide-ranging survey of the history of demon possession and exorcism through the ages. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the era of the Reformation, thousands of Europeans were thought to be possessed by demons. In response to their horrifying symptoms—violent convulsions, displays of preternatural strength, vomiting of foreign objects, displaying contempt for sacred objects, and others—exorcists were summoned to expel the evil spirits from victims’ bodies. This compelling book focuses on possession and exorcism in the Reformation period, but also reaches back to the fifteenth century and forward to our own times. Entire convents of nuns in French, Italian, and Spanish towns, thirty boys in an Amsterdam orphanage, a small group of young girls in Salem, Massachusetts—these are among the instances of demon possession in the United States and throughout Europe that Brian Levack closely examines, taking into account the diverse interpretations of generations of theologians, biblical scholars, pastors, physicians, anthropologists, psychiatrists, and historians. Challenging the commonly held belief that possession signals physical or mental illness, the author argues that demoniacs and exorcists—consciously or not—are following their various religious cultures, and their performances can only be understood in those contexts. “Riveting [and] readable . . . must-reading for students of history, psychology and religion.” —Publishers Weekly “Levak, a distinguished historian of early modern witchcraft, now sets exorcism in a long historical perspective, providing the most comprehensive and scholarly overview of the theme yet published.” —Peter Marshall, Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book Esculape et Dionysos written by Jean Céard and published by Librairie Droz. This book was released on 2008 with total page 1220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esculape et Dionysos invite à partager, sur le mode de l'excès et de la mesure à la fois, l'esprit que Jean Céard a insufflé à tous ceux qui ont collaboré avec lui ou travaillé sous sa direction ; ainsi ce recueil d'études contribue-t-il à illustrer l'intimité du scientifique et du littéraire, du plaisir et du sens, liaison profonde que le travail de ce pédagogue et chercheur a toujours souhaité comprendre. On y goûtera une cornucopie de joyeuseté scientifique tirant ses fruits des différents champs du savoir que Jean Céard a explorés tout au long de sa carrière (philosophie, sciences naturelles, théologie), enrichissant aussi des questions génériques et d'histoire littéraire qu'il a tout particulièrement éclairées (la poésie, la traduction), ou relançant l'étude d'un auteur dont il a renouvelé l'approche (Rabelais). Cette plongée dans la culture de la Renaissance vise, au fil de quelque soixante-dix enquêtes, à témoigner de la générosité intellectuelle d'un de ses plus éminents historiens et, au nom de la curiosité sans bornes de celui-ci, à entraîner le lecteur à se nourrir «d'admiration, chasse [et] ambiguïté» pour progresser sur la voie que Jean Céard a éclairée de manière décisive: l'interprétation des signes au XVIe siècle.
