- A great witchcraft trial in the 17th century: Abbot Gaufridy and Madeleine de Demandolx (1600-1670) by J. Lorédan – Paris, Perrin, 1912. Una cronaca – testimony of the history of Madeleine de Demandolx. Forced to enter, at thirteen, the Ursulines of Marseille, at 18 she began not eating and showing strange behaviours, to the point of breaking a crucifix. The exorcist pronounced the sentence of “diabolical possession,” but despite repeated attempts at exorcism, nothing changed. Almost taking advantage of this situation, Abbot Gauffridy had carnal relations with her. Thus the trial against the two accused of witchcraft and possessed by the devil was instituted. In the original paperback, well preserved; light foxing due to the type of paper. With 9 plates and 2 photographic facsimiles. Pp.
