Solomonic Magic & the Grimoires

The Possession at Loudun

by Michel de Certeau · Michael B. Smith (trans.)

A historian's study of the possession of the Ursuline nuns of Loudun and the trial and execution of Urbain Grandier in 1634. De Certeau reads the exorcisms as public theatre in which religious, medical and political authorities competed to define the truth, and discusses the documents presented as Grandier's pact.
