Rare third edition (often misdescribed as second), published a year after the first, of this important, fascinating and most influential treatise on witches by Jean Bodin, which went through five editions by Jaques Du Puy by 1582. Jean Bodin s On the Demon-Mania of Witches (De la démonomanie des sorciers) appeared in 1580 and rapidly became a major publishing success. It underwent at least twenty-three editions and was translated from its original French into German, Italian and Latin. It was surely the most published work of the era on the subject of demons and witches. Because of its wide distribution, it has been considered by generations of historians to have been an extremely influential book, responsible in itself for large-scale prosecutions of witches in the four or five decades following its appearance. Jonathan L. Pearl,. On the Demon-mania of Witches Jean Bodin attained eminence as a political philosopher, economist and advocate of religious toleration, and was regarded by most contemporaries as a sceptic or even an atheist, yet he retained an abiding belief in sorcery, astrology and other superstitions. In this work he denounces all who disbelieve in witchcraft and calls for the burning of witches and wizards, although he implies that he himself had for 13 years been guided by a friendly demon who touched one or other of his ears whenever he intended to do right or wrong. He records a number of pacts made with the Devil, as well as alleged sexual relations with lesser demons, and asserts that witches are transported through the air, that demons assume human form, and that men are transformed into animals. He believes in lycanthropy or werwolves and in the marks of sorcerers. In their professed cures they employ unnatural remedies and poisons like the brain of a cat or head of a raven. Really the only maladies which they can cure are those which they have inflicted, and in this case they must pass the ailment on to someone else . (Thorndike VI 526). In his many works, Bodin, influenced by Renaissance syncretism and shaken by the extreme violence of his time, was very tolerant of varieties of religious belief. While he generally supported a Catholic settlement of the conflicts, he was far from being an orthodox believer. Generations of scholars have admired the Commonwealth as the first modern study of the state and have often depicted Bodin as a modern man. . But many of these scholars have been shocked and perplexed at the apparent contrast between the modern , rational political Bodin, the tolerant religious Bodin, and the intolerant and superstitious Bodin of the Demon-Mania. There is a long tradition among Bodin specialists of either ignoring the Demon-Mania or treating it as a bizarre aberration in an otherwise respectable progressive intellectual. . in fact the Demon-mania shares essential points of view and concerns with the Commonwealth and the Colloquium .

A large copy with good margins. (14), 252 (recte: 256) ff. Scarce first edition of Bodin's seminal "Demon-Mania", the most important book on witchcraft of the era. The work profoundly influenced the position on witchcraft of the following half century and directly influenced the course of witch trials of this period. The work is furthermore of fundamental importance to the understanding of Bodin's tripartite world picture and constitutes an invaluable supplement to his "Six livres de la république"."Jean Bodin's "On the Demon-Mania of Witches" (De la démonomanie des sorciers) appeared in 1580 and rapidly became a major publishing success. It underwent at least twenty-three editions and was translated from its original French into German, Italian and Latin. It was surely the most published work of the era on the subject of demons and witches. Because of its wide distribution, it has been considered by generations of historians to have been an extremely influential book, responsible in itself for large-scale prosecutions of witches in the four or five decades following its appearance." (Pearl, p. 9).The present first edition constitutes not only the original version of the work, but also the model for all French editions that followed (as well as the later translations) - as many as 11 between 1581 and 1616. Bodin edited an edition in 1587, which contained some additions" that edition is considered very flawed, however, and no subsequent editions were based upon it. Jean Bodin (1529/30 - 1596), "one of the towering figures in the history of French thought" (Scott), was a lawyer, economist, natural philosopher, historian, and one of the major political theorists of the sixteenth century. His main work, the "Six livres de la république" is one of the most important works of modern political thought. Here Bodin gave the first systematic statement of sovereignty and coined the term "political science". With his theory of the State and statement of Sovereignty, he fundamentally changed the history of political thought in the West. The "Six livres de la république" is Bodin's most famous and frequently read work. Due to the seemingly "supernatural" contents of the "Démonomanie", scholars have had difficulties recognizing the Bodin of the "Six livres" in this work, which, within its domain, was just as influential. There has been, however, increasing recognition of the political contents of the "Démonomanie", and a tendency towards reconciliation of the great works by this towering figure of early modern French thought. First of all, the work is written with the same impressive thoroughness and style as Bodin's other works. Second, although based upon a concrete sorcery case, the "Démonomanie" is of the utmost importance to the understanding of Bodin's tripartite world picture and his attempts at maintaining a clear line of separation between the world of nature and the supernatural. His monumental conception of "Theatrum Naturae" is just as dominant as a thematical background in his "Démonomanie" as it is in his "Six livres" and there ought to be no doubt about the fact that the basic features of his system of thought are dominant in the present work, which due to its concrete matter of investigation is all the more interesting. In fact, the "Démonomanie" is now considered an invaluable source for the general thought of the great political thinker. With its two-fold turn of focus on social problems and questions of natural-philosophical and theological character, the "Démonomanie", in accordance with Bodin's scientific plan of life, marks the transition from "human sciences" to "the science of natural and divine things". "Contrary to the judgment of the Enlightenment thinkers, this midway-position does not reduce its value in the Bodin corpus" on the contrary: Precisely this work is suitable for clarifying and illustrating the unity of his works." (Own translation from the German. Lange, p. 162). Concerning himself with witchcraft and demonology, it is in this work that we find an emphasized statement of Bodin's thoughts on women, on punishing and sentencing, and on the general threats of state and society. Having experienced severe criticism of his earlier works, Bodin's critics became more serious and dangerous with regard to his "Démonimanie". In his letter of dedication (December 20, 1579) to Christophle de Thou, the first president of the Parlement of Paris, Bodin explained his motives for writing the work. "First, he hoped to denounce the mania, the spiritual errors, and distraction, as well as the "fury" that sorcerers possess as they "chase after the devil." He wrote this treaty with two purposes in mind: on the one hand, "to use it as a warning to all who will see him [the devil]," and on the other hand, "to alert readers that there is no crime that could be more atrocious or deserve more serious punishment." Bodin wished to speak out against those who "try by all means to rescue the sorcerers through printed books." He reminded all that "Satan has men in his grasp who write, publish, and speak claiming that nothing that is said about sorcerers is true." It was essential to provide the tools to magistrates and judges, who were confronted by the accused sorcerers, in order to face this formidable problem. The work was bold and perilous for its author. Many wondered if Bodin, so curious about this topic, such an expert, so convinced of the devil's existence, may not himself have been involved with witchcraft. These sus.

Im selben Jahr erschien eine ebenfalls von Coninx gedruckte Ausgabe bei Keerberghe die, im Gegensatz zu vorliegender, in Wolfenbüttel und Berlin nachgewiesen ist (Coumont B87.10). Erstmals 1580 in Paris erschienen, erste lateinische Ausgabe Basel 1581. Hauptwerk des französischen Philosophen und Staatsrechtlers Jean Bodin (1529/30-1596), vor allem wegen seiner bedeutenden staatstheoretischen Schriften bekannt. Er nahm als Jurist an einigen Hexenprozessen teil, führte selbst den Prozess gegen Johanna Harwilerin im Jahr 1579 und war in der Folge einer der heftigsten und maßgeblichsten Befürworter der Hexenverfolgungen. Seine Démonomanie Des Sorciers ("De Magorum Daemonomania") wurde zu einem wichtigen Nachschlagewerk und Handbuch bei Gerichtsprozessen. Bodin zitiert zahlreiche antike und zeitgenössische Autoren und liefert eine ausführliche Zusammenfassung des Zauber-, Hexen- und Dämonenglaubens seiner Zeit. Ein grosser Teil des Buches (S. 403-467) besteht aus einer massiven Gegenrede auf dem Arzt Johann Weyer "Refutatuion des opinions de Iean VVier". Dieser hatte als Ursache der meisten Fälle von Hexerei eher kriminelle Berechnung oder krankhafte Melancholie ausgemacht und sich damit gegen den Hexenwahn gewendet. Bodin est un véritable reflet de son temps: il croit aux pactes faits avec les démons, à l'évocation des morts et à la copulation charnelle avec les démons. Il ridiculise les arguments juridiques de Jean Wier et réfute ses opinions que les sorciers sont le plus souvent des malades ou des fous et qu'il ne fallait pas les brûler. Lui, au contraire, exprime le désir de réunir des centaines de sorciers et sorcières pour pouvoir lui-même les griller en un seul tas. L'édition originale date de Paris, 1580. Marque de l'imprimeur en bois sur le titre et sur la dernière page. Rousseurs, Déchirure avec perte de texte à la p. 19/20 (copie). Reliure postérieure (moderne?).

First edition of the most influential witch-hunting guide of the 16th century. This work "brought witchcraft into the new era, supplanting the Scholastic Malleus maleficarum as the go-to manual for understanding and prosecuting witchcraft" (Krause, p. 119). De la demonomanie des sorciers ("On the Demon-Mania of Witches") originates from Bodin's interest in witchcraft as a lawyer. One of the greatest legal minds of his era, he became involved in witch trials while working as prosecutor for the King in north-eastern France. The treatise is divided into four books. The first contains one of the earliest attempts at a legal definition of a witch: "One who knowing God's law tries to bring about some act through an agreement with the devil" (p. 1). The other books respectively deal with magic in general, the means to prevent spells, and the investigation and trial of witches. "Bodin asserts that witches are transported through the air, that demons assume human form, and that men are transformed into animals. He believes in lycanthropy or werwolves and in the marks of sorcerers. In their professed cures they employ unnatural remedies and poisons like the brain of a cat or head of a raven" (Thorndike, p. 526). The book also includes reports of exorcisms and famous trial cases. At the end, Bodin attacks the prominent Dutch demonologist Johann Weyer, who had stated - in his De praestigiis daemonum (1563) - that so-called witches were just women suffering from mental illness. The book was a Renaissance best-seller and the most widely read work on demonology of the period: it went through 23 editions and was translated from the original French into German, Italian, and Latin. It "exercised tremendous influence over the judges who heard witchcraft cases and was the direct cause of a considerable increase in the number of trials and executions for witchcraft following its appearance and wide dissemination" (Pearl, p. 112).

Gr.-8°, Brosch. XVI, 390 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // "De la Démonomanie des Sorciers" (1580) ist nicht das berühmteste, wohl aber das kontroverseste Werk des großen französischen Staatstheoretikers Jean Bodin (1529-1596). Darin erörtert er die Natur des Hexenwesens und gibt eine Anleitung zur rigiden strafrechtlichen Verfolgung des crimen magiae. Obgleich ein genuin juristisches Werk, wurde der Text bisher gerade aus rechtlicher und rechtshistorischer Perspektive nicht eingehend erforscht. Die Studie geht der Frage nach der Funktion und Bedeutung rechtlicher Normativität in Bodins Hexenmanual nach. Dabei zeigt sie die Verbindung von Bodins Weltbild und seinen Rechtsvorstellungen auf, legt die Ausgestaltung des Hexereitatbestands in seinen einzelnen Deliktselementen dar und erklärt das prozessuale Sonderrecht gegen Hexen.
