Description

Explore the remarkable true story of Old Thiess, a Livonian peasant who appeared before a district court in 1691 to declare he was a werewolf. Rather than claiming to be a monster, Thiess described himself as a hound of God, a protector who fought against sorcerers, witches, and Satan to defend humanity and the natural world. This unusual testimony has fascinated historians for centuries. In this volume, renowned scholars Carlo Ginzburg and Bruce Lincoln provide a comparative study of the trial and its implications. By examining the testimony through a historical lens, the authors offer deep insights into the beliefs and social dynamics of the era. This book serves as a unique resource for those interested in European history, folklore, and the complexities of religious and social identity during the 17th century.
