Paul REGNARD - (1850-1927), Médecin de l'hopital de Salpêtrière dans le service du professeur Charcot durant les années 1870.
Sorcellerie, Magnétisme, Morphinisme, Délire des Grandeurs - les maladies épidémiques de l'esprit de Paul REGNARD Les maladies épidémiques de l'esprit -Sorcellerie, Magnétisme, Morphinisme, Délire des Grandeurs de Paul REGNARD
Paris E. Plon Nourit et Cie - 1887 - In-8,17 x 25.5 cm - Broché - illustré de cent vingt gravures in et hors-texte - Ouvrage dédié à J.M. CHARCOT xii-429 pages - rousseurs éparses - Bon exemplaire Regnard nous livre ici une revue historique et bibliographique des cas de possession et de sorcellerie au cours des siècles. Il s’attarde notamment, parce que les plus documentés,sur les affaires des possédées de Loudun et des miracles du cimetière Saint Médard. Regnard s’intéresse surtout aux manifestations physiques que les rapporteurs de l’époque ont décrites : pâmoison, tétanie, paresthésie… Signes qui ne pouvaient être interprétés alors que comme diaboliques ou pour le moins miraculeux. Autant de signes que Regnard a déjà observé, photographié et soigné à la Salpêtrière dans le service deJ.M. Charcot auquel il dédia cet ouvrage. C’est donc sous l’angle d’une psychiatrie naissante que Regnard analyse ces cas historiques. L’iconographie est particulièrement soignée avec de nombreuses reproduction de gravures du XVème au XIXème (empruntant aussi bien au Compendium Maleficarum qu’au Dictionnaire infernal) ainsi que des dessins issus de la célèbre iconographie de la Salpêtrière.

Lasher
The dynasty of witches.... At the center: the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day. " Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga. It is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. Its many voices - of women, of men, of demons and angels, present and past - haunt and enchant us. 578p.. Book
