Description

Explore a highly original study of demon possession and the ritual of exorcism during early modern times in France. This historical work examines a period when these phenomena reached epidemic proportions across the country. During this era, Catholics believed the Devil was present in many forms, from the rise of heretics to the activities of witches and the bodies of pious young women. This book analyzes the rite of exorcism, which was intended to heal the possessed and demonstrate the power of the Church. However, the study reveals how these rituals often generated as many problems as they resolved. Readers will learn about the experiences of possessed nuns who endured violent exorcisms and the suspicions cast upon exorcists themselves. It provides a deep look into the social and religious tensions of the time, making it a valuable resource for those interested in European history and religious studies.
