The first is the classic account of the paranormal by Taillepied - first published in 1588, all the editions are uncommon. His account was reprinted until 1667 and was influential - he was a believer in poltergeists and spirits often at odds with reformation figures like Ludwig Levater, who were eager to disbelieve. The second title, by the physician and entomologist Poupart is quite scarce - just 6 copies in OCLC - and details a specific haunting at Saint Maur - a classic case of rustling papers, moving drapes, the bed walking itself around the room, self rearranging furniture, unexplained noises etc etc. Size: Octavo (8vo). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Magic, Paranormal & Occult; Antiquarian & Rare. Inventory No: 046703.
