THE HESIODIC CATALOGUE OF WOMEN Its Nature Structure and Origins
Oxford Clarendon Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. 0198140347 . Dustjacket has very minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; The Catalogue of Women is an Ancient Greek poem. Ancient writers sometimes attributed it to Hesiod although the poem contains a few references to events and things after Hesiod's time that could suggest that they were later added or that the epic is of a completely different author. Since Hesiod is known to us only as the author of the Works and Days and the Theogony which may not have the same date or author the distinction here is unclear. Since the dating of the poem is one of the most problematic issues surrounding it the poem's author remains anonymous. ; 193 pages . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

Magie et Sorcellerie.Synopsis:TOME I : De l'origine du diable, du temps de sa création, de son essence, et de sa chute. Quels Théologiens ont écrit de la chute des diables, de la cause d'icelle, de leur nature, et en quels endroits de leurs livres cela se trouve. Pourquoi et en quelle manière le diable trompa Eve et corrompit premièrement le monde. Ce que le diable a machiné au commencement du second monde en ceux de la race de Noé et en quel temps la magie infâme commença. Comment les diables ont voulu être estimés dieux et présider sur les pays et du dénombrement de leurs noms, selon leur charge. Des dieux de chaque province : de l'idolâtrie des Grecs : de l'institution des dieux des Romains du nombre des sacrifices. Item comment l'idolâtrie est entrée parmi le peuple de Dieu. Des sacrifices du sang humain inventés par le diable célébrés entre le peuple de Dieu, entre les Grecs, entre les Romains et ailleurs. Item des pronostications prises des entrailles des hommes sacrifiés. Des faux prophètes du diable, des Entousiastes, des femmes pythiènnes et de plusieurs Sybilles. De la même et pareille adoration du diable en diverses régions fort éloignées les unes des autres et en combien de sortes il se joue en la Chrétienté. D'où vient que les diables peuvent faire des choses si merveilleuses et principalement d'où vient qu'ils peuvent prédire les choses à venir. Les diables ont conu Jésus-Christ devant les Apôtres la cause pour laquelle il était envoyé. Item pour quelle raison il fut tenté du diable. Plusieurs pratiques du diable et quelques unes de ses oeuvres brièvement décrites. Il est monftré par le formulaire dont les prêtres se servent pour interroger les esprits malins avec quelles impostures le diable se moque des prêtres en faisant croire qu'il est l'âme d'un trépassé. La manière et la corpulence par laquelle le diable machine commodément des choses étranges et émerveillables. Item, l'histoire d'une petite bête, laquelle sortit de la bouche d'un gendarme qui dormoit, puis y rentra. Exemples mémorables de divers fantômes et oeuvres des diables. Autres illusions des diables. Histoire de deux apparitions de diables en forme de moine décrite par George Sabin. Deux autres histoires des mêmes apparitions publiées par Philippe Melanchton. On estime quelquefois que les choses naturelles et artificielles sont oeuvres des diables. Il y a quelques choses artificielles es animaux, lesquelles semblent quelsquefois être diaboliques. Quelques sentences et avis des pères touchant les machinations des diables et de la fin à laquelle ils tendent. Item, pour quelle raison Dieu les a faits adversaires des hommes. Les noms du diable lesquels découvrent son occupation et par lesquels aussi il est nommé és saintes lettres. Les noms des diables selon la diversité de leurs actions entre les Éthniques et par leur office selon les Latins. Le dénombrement des diables poètiques, les Ternistrateurs, les Gobelins, les Nains terrestres et montagniers. Les esprits familiers et les Fées ou Sybilles blanches. Item, les noms de quelques dieux des Païens. Les distinctions des diables selon les Théologiens et Philosophes. Item, la différence des bons et des mauvais esprits. Que le diable ne peut pas toutes choses et ne peut rien sans la permission de Dieu et pour quelle raison Dieu lui permet plusieurs choses sous certaines bornes et limites. Les choses impossibles au diable : ensemble plusieurs maléfices qui jusques à present lui ont été attribués. Il est montré par témoignages des docteurs anciens que le diable ne connait point les pensées des hommes. Les noms des magiciens infâmes et des empoisonneurs dans l'Ancien Testament. Que c'est que magicien infâme. Item, de la Goétie et Théurgie. L'origine de la Magie : qui ont été les premiers Magiciens. Item, les livres de Magie faussement attribués aux Pères anciens.

Wilson Peter
THE ATHENIAN INSTITUTION OF THE KHOREGIA The Chorus the City and the Stage
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 2003. Paperback. 0521542138 . Scholars' name to half-title Mark Golden. Else very minor shelfwear. ; This book is the first major study of the means by which the classical Athenians organised and funded their many festival choruses. It explores the mechanics of the institution by which a minority of rich citizens were required to arrange and pay for a festival chorus including choruses for tragic and comic drama and situates this duty within the range of occasions for elite leadership in Athens' elaborate festival calendar. Peter Wilson goes on to show the importance of the khoregia to our understanding of the workings of Athenian democracy itself and to demonstrate the degree to which the institution was itself a highly performative occasion an opportunity for elite display in the democratic environment. The post-classical history of the khoregia and its appearance in a wide range of other Greek communities are also examined. ; 452 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback

Winnington Ingram R. P. & Foreword and Bibliography by P. E. Easterling
EURIPIDES AND DIONYSUS An Interpretation of the Bacchae
Adolf M. Hakkert. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1969. Hardcover. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Light Foxing to top of textblock. Light bump to 1 corner. ; Unchanged Reprint of 1948 ed. ; 190 pages; Euripides and Dionysus is a brilliant and influential study of the god of Greek drama and the one surviving tragedy Euripides' Bacchae in which he appears. The play has been intensively discussed by critics and very often staged imitated and adapted in the fifty years since Winnington-Ingram wrote this pioneering monograph which is still cited as if it were a contemporary work of criticism. His interpretation presented with great elegance was composed at a time just before the Second World War when he was deeply troubled by what he had seen of fascism; it has special interest now for its place in the history of reception. .

WITCHCRAFT. MAFFEI FRANCESCO SCIPIONE MARCHESE DI
ARTE MAGICA DILEGUATA; LETTERA DEL SIGNOR MARCHESE MAFFEI AL PADRE INNOCENTE ANSALID DELL'ORDINE DE' PREDICATORI
Verona: Agostino Carattoni 1750. Second Edition. 259 x 186 mm. 10 1/8 x 7 3/8". 55 1 pp. Second Edition. Contemporary white paper wrappers ink titling to spine. With woodcut headpiece and historiated initial. Wrapper a bit soiled endleaves faintly browned from binder's glue one leaf with short marginal tear a couple of trivial spots to margins but A VERY FINE UNSOPHISTICATED COPY clean and crisp internally with ample margins and the fragile binding surprisingly well preserved. In remarkable condition in its original insubstantial paper wrappers this treatise against the existence of witchcraft was written just after the conclusion of one of the last witch trials and executions in Western Europe. Francesco Scipione Maffei 1675-1755 is perhaps best known for his contributions to the revival of Italian theater but he also founded an influential literary magazine travelled widely and wrote on subjects as diverse as Etruscan antiquities and the practice of duelling. The present work written in the form of a letter was sparked by the infamous execution of Maria Renata Saenger an elderly Bavarian nun accused of Satanism in 1749. The incident provoked a number of treatises on the topic and a renewed debate on the existence of supernatural magic and witchcraft. The present work falls squarely in the skeptics' camp urging logic and rationality in the face of superstition and unfounded beliefs. For special censure Maffei targets abbot Girolamo Tartarotti a proponent for the existence of supernatural magic whose "Congresso Notturno delle Lammie Libre Tre" "Three Books on the Nocturnal Congress of the Lamia" contains in our author's words "some ridiculous opinions about witches." In the last half of 18th century partly as a result of these debates as well as changing attitudes and better governance such trials became increasingly infrequent and eventually witchcraft ceased to be treated as a criminal matter altogether.

WITCHCRAFT. BODIN JEAN
DE LA DEMONOMANIE DES SORCIERS
Paris: Jacques du Puys 1580. FIRST EDITION. 229 x 152 mm. 9 x 6". 14 p.l. 252 leaves. FIRST EDITION. 19th century brown calf covers gilt with single fillet border and central arabesque raised bands flanked by gilt rules spine panels with gilt floral ornament gilt titling. With woodcut printer's device to title page. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of F. Renard; title page with ink notation dated 1609 and ink library stamp. Caillet 1269; Yve-Plessis 843. Spine and head of rear board lightly sunned joints a little worn extremities a bit rubbed leaves a shade less than bright isolated minor foxing or rust spots occasional wormholes in gutter margin not affecting text other trivial imperfections but still an excellent copy generally clean and fresh with ample margins. Reflecting the author's strong need to protect society from sorcery this is the first appearance of a manual for judges in witchcraft trials and a landmark work notable for its particularly hard-line support of the prosecution and persecution of witches. French jurist Jean Bodin 1529-96 was highly educated in the humanist tradition and his works on political philosophy and economics were much respected and highly influential--which makes his belief in witchcraft and strong support of witch hunting all the more puzzling and lamentable. As judge in numerous witch trials Bodin formulated one of the earliest legal definitions of a witch: "one who knowing God's law tries to bring about some act through an agreement with the Devil." Robbins describes him as "an unmitigated bigot" who did not shrink from torturing women children or invalids in order to obtain confessions. According to Bodin normal protections afforded criminal defendants must be dispensed with as "not one out of a million witches would be accused or punished if regular legal procedure were followed." Death by burning was the appropriate punishment and any judge who did not impose a sentence of death on a sorcerer should in Bodin's view be put to death himself. Because of his prominence as a scholar Bodin's writings on witchcraft were persuasive at a time when skepticism about the supernatural was on the rise and "Demonomanie" had appeared in 20 editions in four languages by 1600. Our sought-after first printing is uncommon in the appealing condition seen here. Jacques du Puys unknown

WITCHCRAFT. Del Rio Martin Antoine SJ. 1551 1608 S. J.
Disquisitionum Magicarum Libri Sex Quibus Continentur Accurata Curiosarum Artium et vanarum superstitionum confutatio utilis Theologis Jurisconsultis Medicis Philologis. Autore Martino Del-Rio Societ. Iesu Presbyt. LL. Licent. et Theol. Doct. olim in Academia Graetcensi et Salmanticensi publico S. Script. Professore. Prodit Opus ultimis curis longe accuratius ac castigatius. Superiorum Permissu et Licentia.
Cologne: 1679. NINTH EDITION 1st 1599. Quarto:. A nice copy in contemporary vellum over wooden boards with clasps staining to fore-edge of upper board a few stains on rear board front joint just starting. Text with a small wormhole to outer margin never touching the text. A few light marginal spots occasional light browning or foxing but still an unusually nice copy of a book almost always found browned. Engraved title page. The Jesuit jurist MartÃn del Rio’s “Disquisitionum Magicarum Libri Sex†Six Books of Disquisitions on Witches was written about 1596 and first published in 1599. The book had enormous impact and was consulted and cited for over a century. Much in the book is understandably frightening. Vague guidance is given for determining if a person has made a pact with the devil and the methods recommended for extracting confessions from accused sorcerers and witches are horrifying. Even children who are not to be racked are nevertheless to be frightened into confession by being stripped naked chained and led to the rack. “Its six sections discussed the following topics: 1. Magic in general and the distinctions between natural and artificial magic; alchemy. 2. Diabolical magic; witches at the Sabbat; incubus demons; real and false apparitions. 3. Maleficia and how accomplished. How and why God allows men to be tormented by evil spirits. 4. Prophecy divination when heresy when merely superstition ordeals Del Rio is somewhat dubious of the value of the ‘bain des sorciers’ or ‘swimming’. 5. Instructions to judges: indications and proofs of witchcraft follow practices for heresy but judges are allowed some latitude. 6. Function of the confessor; natural coral onyx and supernatural exorcism amulets means to oppose maleficia. “Under a veil of moderation-he permitted legal counsel for witches and he rejected lycanthropy -Del Rio revived the theories and procedures of the ‘Malleus Maleficarum’ with credulity and blind intolerance. For example Del Rio told ‘another quite well-founded story’. ‘In the year 1587 a soldier on guard shot into a dark cloud and lo a woman fell to his feet. Now what do those say who deny that witches ride to meetings They will say that they do not believe it; let them remain incredulous because they will not believe eyewitnesses of whom I could adduce many’. “By 1600 the venom of witch hunters was directed against the witch lovers who questioned the theories and practice of the witch trials. Said Del Rio: ‘Judges are bound under pain of mortal sin to condemn witches to death who have confessed their crimes; anyone who pronounces against the death sentence is reasonably suspected of secret complicity; no one is to urge the judges to desist from the prosecution; nay it is an indicium of witchcraft to defend witches or to affirm that witch stories which are told as certain are mere deceptions or illusionsâ€. Like Bodin Del Rio was acceptable to Protestant witch hunters because of his friendship with Justus Lipsius of Leyden. Consequently he became well known in England.†Robins Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology p. 121-123 For a discussion of Del Rio’s work and its influence in the age of early scientific inquiry see Waddell “Jesuit Science and the End of Nature’s Secrets†p. 32 ff.
