187947623Parisiis: Apud Isidorum Liseux 1879. First Thus. 12mo 15cm.; publisher's cream pictorial wrappers printed in red and black; xii89pp. Some light shelf wear and a few small soil spots tiny chips at spine ends else Very Good or better. Scarce extract from Sinistrari's larger work "De Delictis et Poenis" 1654 text entirely in Latin save for the publisher's tongue-in-cheek introduction in French. Liseux gained some notoriety a few years earlier when he published "De Daemonialitate et Incubus et Succubis" claiming to have discovered this heretofore unknown manuscript written in 1680 by the Franciscan priest Ludovico Maria Sinistrari 1622-1701. The work described the qualities of such beasts as vampires succubi and incubi though it has since been proposed that Liseux himself wrote the piece see J. Gordon Melton "The Vampire Book" 2010 p. 380. "De Daemonialitate" was eventually translated into English in 1879 and found its way into the hands of W.B. Yeats who borrowed Ezra Pound's copy and from it was inspired to compose the poem "The Black Centaur" first published in "The Tower" in 1928 Catherine E. Paul and Warwick Gould "W.B. Yeats and the Problem of Belief" "Yeats Annual" no. 21 p. 313. <br/><br/>The present work is indeed authored by Sinistrari and remains here in its unalter ed Latin form presumably to avoid censure Liseux noting in his introduction that there's a reason he decided to publish this work sans illustration. Though the publisher's advertisement on the final leaf of text and rear cover only mention "De Daemonialitate" Liseux's catalog would go on to include the Kama Sutra and Ernest Dowson's "White Stains: Containing Also the Contemporary and Most Exhaustive Love's Cyclopaedia with Five Illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley in His Most Erotic Vein.

For a time his patron was Cardinal Giulio de' Medici and he mocked Popes and would be popes but in time he settled in Venice - the Anti-Rome. Ariosto called him "the scourge of Princes". He is remembered most for his satires and his letters which detail conversations with both the great names of the day as well as regular folk both women and men. His ability to manipulate the reader of his letters - which were carefully chosen and probably always meant for publication - by constructing a compelling narrative with himself as central protagonist - changed epistolary collections forever.

Originally published in Dordrecht in 1660 this is the Second American edition based on the edition printed in Ephrata in 1748 which is rarely found in the trade. The title translates in part "The Bloody Theater or Martyrs' Mirror of the Defenseless Christians . . . Who suffered and Died for the Testimony of Jesus. . . from the time of Christ to the Year A. D. 1660." It was compiled by Thieleman Braght from chronicles memorials testimonies recording the history of martyrdom with particular emphasis on the persecution of the Mennonite communities in Germany and northern Europe. "Joseph Ehrenfried 1783-1862 was printer publisher and translator. Born in Germany he worked first in the city of Lancaster then Harrisburg and Allentown and then back to Lancaster. Known best for his newspaper work for a time he was the 'German state printer' meaning he was the official German-language printer for the state of Pennsylvania." A note found in the blog The Black Art by Lee J. Stoltzfus suggests that Ehrenfried went out of business as a result of the cost associated with the publication of this gigantic printing venture.
