STC 6288; ESTC S109297. See also Freeman "Demons Deviance and Defiance: John Darrell and the Politics of Exorcism in Late Elizabethan England" in Conformity and Orthodoxy in the English Church c. 1560-1660 ed. P. Lake and M. Questier Boydell Press 2000 pp. 34-63. Short faint scratch to front board extremities lightly rubbed text washed and pressed title and final two leaves somewhat grayed and grubby margins trimmed a bit close occasionally grazing headlines or shoulder notes but a perfectly readable copy in an attractive binding. This scarce clandestine imprint is a central publication in of one of the strangest religio-political controversies of the turn of the 17th century involving demonic possession witchcraft accusations and an anti-Puritan crusade by a Church of England bishop. Our author Puritan exorcist John Darrell ca. 1562 - ca. 1607 was educated at Cambridge and briefly dabbled in law and farming before establishing himself as a preacher and spiritual healer. In 1586 he began conducting exorcisms resulting in a level of local fame partly because some of them resulted in the convictions of witches. In the following decade he achieved national notoriety. First in March of 1597 he exorcised a group of seven demoniacs in the household of Lancashire landowner Nicholas Starkey. Then in November of the same year he conducted a dramatic public exorcism of Nottingham apprentice musician William Somers whose claim of having been magically possessed led to the arrest of 13 people on witchcraft charges. One of these individuals was the sister of a city alderman who immediately took action to protect his kinswoman. The resulting legal tangle--which included the arrest of Somers on charges of witchcraft later changed to fraud and an investigative commission led by the Archbishop of York--attracted widespread attention to Darrell's activities by both supporters and detractors. The Church of England was highly concerned about Puritan exorcisms: in the words of historian Thomas S. Freeman "exorcism magnified those aspects of Puritan worship which the ecclesiastical authorities most feared--its anti-hierarchical tendencies its strong sense of communal solidarity and its potential as a vehicle for protest." No doubt with an understanding of this threat Bishop of London Richard Bancroft and his chaplain Samuel Harsnett led a vicious campaign against Darrell publishing multiple works smearing his character and theology stripping Durrell of his license to preach and imprisoning him for more than a year. Darrell did not go quietly. Over the next four years he and his supporters penned multiple defenses of his actions and of Puritan exorcism more generally published either abroad or illegally by secret English presses. The present work is significant not only for its detailed retelling of Darrell's final two exorcisms in his own words but also because it includes Darrell's detailed "doctrine of possession" which discusses the difference between his exorcisms and those of the apostolic age an important theological clarification in the debate. STC indicates that our book was one of the works published clandestinely in England; this is backed up by the October 29 1600 Stationers' Company order to burn all copies of "mr Darrell's book lately printed concerning the casting out of Devilles" which Freeman asserts refers to the present publication. This order to be burned on top of the clandestine publication could explain the present scarcity of the work which appears on the market very infrequently. We have been able to trace just a single copy at auction this century and only five since 1964 several lacking the final errata leaf which does appear here.

Vade mecum praestigio practicum seu methodus benedictionum et exorcismorum contra maleficia et praestigia

1706réf. 20083Germany 1706. Manuscript in brown ink on paper in Latin and German written in two highly legible secretary hands by one scribe one for Latin and one for German single- and double-column 27 lines to a full page. Contemporary blind-ruled black morocco red edges. Authorial inscription on the pastedown dated 1706 ex-libris inscription on the title verso “J.M. Herré Presbyt. 1802.” In excellent condition. A unique and curious manuscript manual for pharmaceutical exorcisms highlighting a pivotal moment in Enlightenment Era Europe when scientific innovation collided with deeply rooted religious traditions. Divided into four parts the first and longest section of the text provides the necessary incantations psalms and prayers for exorcising evil spirits and putting protections over the body and home. It lists specific saints to invoke for assistance and biblical excerpts to read in different situations. It also includes recipes for holy water talismanic salt and anointing oil as well as holy baths for dunking witches purgatives for vomiting up demons and potions for expelling evil spirits from the house. The recipes for holy water differ according to the intended use: menstruating women plague victims gardens and building foundations. There are also illustrated instructions for making cross talismans. The second part of the manuscript is more proscriptive listing practical instructions for conducting exorcisms and equipment necessary such as vessels herbs and fire. It is about setting the stage for the ceremony: arranging furniture restraining the cursed victim administering medications and ointments and creating cleansing smoke. It includes numerous recipes for pharmaceutical implements which are written in German as opposed to Latin for the clerical text presumably because the compounds would be prepared by a layman pharmacist or healer who did not read Latin and because the recipes incorporate contemporary metals and plants that did not have Latin names. The section concludes with an alphabetic glossary of pharmaceutical terms with their definitions in Latin. The third part focuses specifically on exorcising demons sent by Satan. The text describes the steps to identify a demonic possession and invoke the help of angels to expel it. The final section comprises an alphabetic materia medica sorted according to ailment. Each entry lists ingredients for medications to treat the illness incorporating pharmaceutical symbols for amounts and dosage. As with the previous section the directions for mixing the compounds are written in German. The manuscript concludes with two alphabetic indices—one for prayers and exorcisms the other for medicine. It is perhaps worth note that this bookseller has handled dozens of grimoires that were placed on the Index of banned books and used as evidence to convict healers of witchcraft and I find few differences between those texts and this manuscript. This text demonstrates how the essential elements of faith and medicine were at play in very similar ways both within the Church and in the communities of its supposed enemies. unknown

THE RAPPERS: OR, THE MYSTERIES, FALLACIES, AND ABSURDITIES OF SPIRIT-RAPPING, TABLE-TIPPING, AND ENTRANCEMENT

No Date [1854] 1st edition. Original Green Cloth with embossed gilt illustrated front board & spine Small 8vo, [i]-x, [11]-282 pages; with 6 pages of undated ads. Includes 2 dramatic frontispieces separated by a tissue guard, one shows casting out the evil spirits, the other shows table tipping (reproduced in gilt on the front cover), both with attractive young women at the center. Published just 6 years after the founding of the Spritualist movement in America. Spiritualists often set March 31, 1848, as the beginning of their movement. On that date, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit that was later claimed to be the spirit of a murdered peddler whose body was found in the house, though no record of such a person was ever found. The spirit was said to have communicated through rapping noises, audible to onlookers. The evidence of the senses appealed to practically-minded Americans, and the Fox sisters became a sensation.many early participants in Spiritualism were radical Quakers and others involved in the mid-nineteenth-century reforming movement. These reformers were uncomfortable with more prominent churches because those churches did little to fight slavery and even less to advance the cause of women's rights. Such links with reform movements, often radically socialist, had already been prepared in the 1840s, as the example of Andrew Jackson Davis shows. After 1848, many socialists became ardent spiritualists or occultists. Socialist ideas, especially in the Fourierist vein, exerted a decisive influence on Kardec and other Spiritists (Wikipedia). Only one copy has appeared at a major auction house in the last 100 years. OCLC: 504493987. OCLC lists only 1 copy worldwide (British Library). Rear board also attractively embossed. Spine sunned, occasional light foxing. Very Good Condition. An excellent attractive copy of this exceedingly rare book. (AC-22-20)
