Smith John Holland
THE DEATH OF CLASSICAL PAGANISM
Geoffrey Chapman Publishers. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1976. Hardcover. 0225660970 . Shelfwear book and dustjacket. Rounding to top of spine. Light pencil underlining on a few pages. ; It is a study of the Roman world in the first five centuries after Christ and it tells the story of the historically improbable oddity of how a religious cult centered on an obscure construction worker living in the backwaters of a great Empire supplants the sophisticated Classical European religious worldview that had been embraced for thousands of years. Of particular interest to me was the story of Julian the Apostate the last Roman emperor to openly embrace paganism. The author generously devotes an entire chapter to this remarkable personage. Although Julian was a nephew of Emperor Constantine and was raised as a Christian he renounced the "new" religion when he became an adult and embraced the gods of his fathers. Because Julian ruled the Empire for a scant three years he had insufficient time to turn back the tide of religious history and we are left to wonder how things might have been different if he had ruled for 30 years instead. The author's sympathetic portrayal of this little-known Emperor lent a touching air of wistfulness to the sad story of the clash of Christianity with Paganism. ; 280 pages .

Owen Gale R.
RITES AND RELIGIONS OF THE ANGLO-SAXONS
David & Charles. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1981. Hardcover. 0715377590 . Corners are bumped. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Book is clean and bright. ; Quoting from medieval sources and drawing on recent archaeological finds this book traces the development of religious beliefs in Anglo-Saxon England and of the influence of religion on everyday life. Anglo-Saxon literature is quoted both in Old English and in translation. Illustrations include Anglo-Saxon metalwork carvings manuscript illuminations and buildings. This particular book on Anglo-Saxon Heathenism is unique to my knowledge in that it extends its subject matter to all the religions known to have been practiced by the Anglo-Saxons and thus discusses their practice of Catholic Christianity as well. It sets the stage for the arrival in Britain of the peoples who became the Anglo-Saxons by pointing out that Celtic and Greco-Roman Paganism as well as Christianity both the form which due mostly to political patronage eventually became the "catholic" i. E. "universal" form and various "heresies" predated in Britain the Germanic Heathenism brought in by the Anglo-Saxons. ; 208 pages . David & Charles hardcover

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
