- W2482157868 abstract "The early modern period of European history was not only the age of witch-hunting; it was also the age of demonic possession. The entrance of evil spirits into the bodies of human beings and their assumption of control of those persons’ movements and behaviour became epidemic in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe.1 The Burgundian demonologist Henri Boguet wrote in 1602 that ‘every day [Savoy] sends us a countless number of persons possessed of demons which, on being exorcised, say that they have been sent by witches’.2 Between 1627 and 1631 the parish of Mattaincourt in Lorraine was home to no fewer than 85 possessed women and children.3 At periodic intervals during the seventeenth century groups of nuns in French, Italian and Spanish convents went into fits; screamed, howled, vomited and fainted; spoke in foreign tongues; cursed their confessors and mother superiors; and performed great feats of strength. In Italy hundreds of self-proclaimed victims of possession flocked to the priest and exorcist Giovan Battista Chieasa to expel demons from their bodies.4 In Germany scores of possession narratives, detailing the assaults of demons on young men and women, were published.5 As far east as Russia women known as shriekers howled, screamed, convulsed and tore off their clothes, leading their neighbours to claim that they were possessed by devils.6" @default.
