Superstitions & Folk Belief

Pseudodoxia Epidemica

by Thomas Browne

Browne's 'Enquiries into very many received tenents and commonly presumed truths', better known as Vulgar Errors, tests popular beliefs about animals, plants, minerals and history against reason and observation. It is an important witness to seventeenth-century folk belief and to the early critique of credulity.
