ON LYCANTHROPY -

Histocracy Publishing Presents: ON LYCANTHROPY
An incredible introduction to werewolves as a cultural and historical artifact of the human story.

Originally published in 1591 and newly translated into English—perhaps for the first time ever—this remarkable work offers a rebuttal to jurist Johannes Bodin's On Demonomania (1580), which is also included in this edition, newly translated into English!

These two works together paint a compelling picture of the legal, pre-criminology, and psychological doctrines of the time. They interweave the long-standing mythology of werewolves with the increasing divide between the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Church, using the concept of lycanthropy to debate the differences between these two sects across Eastern and Western Europe.

This edition includes, for the first time:

A complete translation of ON LYCANTHROPY by Johannes Wolfeshusius.
A complete translation of Johannes Bodin's chapter on the werewolf phenomenon from Demonomania of Witches.
A complete translation of The Damnable Life and Death of One Stubbe Peeter, a Most Wicked Sorcerer, a contemporary account (1589/90) detailing the trial of a serial killer accused of being a werewolf.
Restored woodcut images from the original account.
A comprehensive bibliography.
Exclusive artwork created for this publication.
