Berbiguier détruisit la quasi-totalité des exemplaires après publication. Reliures de l'époque en demi basane brune, dos lisses ornés de quadruples filets, dentelles et fleurons dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin rouge, plats de papier raciné, toutes tranches marbrées.

L. encollé sur le contreplat supérieur du premier volume. «?L'époque où Berbiguier compose ses mémoires est propice aux croyances démonologiques, suite à la grande Inquisition et à l'illuminisme du XVIIIe siècle, qui marquent profondément le XIXe siècle à travers, entre autres, un engouement pour l'occultisme. Ce n'est donc guère étonnant que la figure de Satan imprègne Les Farfadets et que la sorcellerie se manifeste dans le récit sous la forme de la persécution. Le XIXe siècle voit également le développement de la psychiatrie, par l'entremise de travaux de grands aliénistes, tels que Henry Ey et Philippe Pinel, dont Berbiguier sera justement le patient. Pinel, que l'auteur considère littéralement comme le «?représentant de Satan?» dans sa nomenclature des farfadets, ne réussira guère à le délivrer des supplices des démons invisibles, réels uniquement pour le seul tourmenté.?» (Ariane Gélinas, «?Le "Fléau des farfadets", Écrire (sur) la marge?: folie et littérature, Postures, no 11, 2009) Bel exemplaire, très rare en élégante reliure de l'époque, de cet étonnant texte rédigé par «?le plus fameux des monomanes hallucinés?» (Dictionnaire encyclopédique des sciences médicales).

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript book of the registers of the conjurations sessions by the first Turkish spiritualist group. 20x15 cm. In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). [154] p., several hand-drawn ills. Group has Bedri Ruhselman, (1898-1960), Albert Braun, (Violinist and Ruhselman's violin teacher of German origin), Hans Ianma (Violin teacher), Hasan Saadeddin Bey, (Turkish spiritualist), and Doctor Zühdü Riza Bey, (Turkish musician, Kemençe teacher, a friend of Sadeddin Arel). Dr. Bedri Ruhselman (1898-1960), the founder of NeoSpiritism and "the Experimental New Spiritism". Ruhselman's point of view and a new perspective to the concepts such as creation, spirit, afterlife, birth incarnation, and rebirth-reincarnation are pioneers in the Early Turkish Republican period. Ruhselman's empirical perspective on "afterlife", one of the most important and primary subjects of theology, has made important contributions to spiritism, out of the classical standpoint. (Source: Ruhselman and his metaphysical vision, Kestel). Albert Braun was Ruhselman's violin teacher and his friend. It's said this early spiritualist group is the pioneer and elitist of Neo-Spiritualism in Turkey. He is considered a Mission Medium, a very rare category within spiritual mediumship. By definition, every medium has a varying degree of ability to tune in to spiritual "frequencies". But not all "reception" (coming from those frequencies) convey a meaningful message (sometimes if any). While mediumship is a gift (meaning that; one either has it or not); very few mediums are actually knowledgeable in spiritual matters. They simply transfer what they capture from their sensitive channels. And once in a while, mainstream media picks on certain mediums, especially when he/she delivers sensational predictions (i.e. Edgar Cayce). Bedri Ruhselman's both interest and gift was manifested since his early childhood. He was conducting spiritual sessions when he was only 12 years old. While continuing his musical education in the Prague Conservatory, in the 1920s, he studied the pioneers of classic spiritualism like Allen Kardec, Gustave Geley, Charles Richet, Leon Denis, William Crooks and become experienced in hypnotism and spiritual sessions. He also completed his medical education and graduated as a medical doctor. In 1950 by establishing Metapsychic Investigations and Scientific Research Society, he gifted an institutional identity to Neo-Spiritualism. His true duty started in 1958 by means of spiritual sessions with a guide being from higher spiritual plans which identified itself as "The Master". Ruhselman and his carefully selected mediums received a vast amount of knowledge via these sessions during a few months. That body of knowledge has been compiled as a book, which Ruhselman never claimed any ownership (stating that it's purely a gift from the higher spiritual plan). The plan has instructed that; the book was only to be released in the future - to be identified by a certain sign. That point alone commends recognition for pure selfless devotion towards undertaken duty. If the ego was in play; one would usually do anything for fame or at least to cash on the subject. But Ruhselman completes his true duty and hands over the book for safekeeping without ever mentioning one word about the content. He passes away a few months after (1960). (Source: Indication23).

No Date [1854] 1st edition. Original Green Cloth with embossed gilt illustrated front board & spine Small 8vo, [i]-x, [11]-282 pages; with 6 pages of undated ads. Includes 2 dramatic frontispieces separated by a tissue guard, one shows casting out the evil spirits, the other shows table tipping (reproduced in gilt on the front cover), both with attractive young women at the center. Published just 6 years after the founding of the Spritualist movement in America. Spiritualists often set March 31, 1848, as the beginning of their movement. On that date, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit that was later claimed to be the spirit of a murdered peddler whose body was found in the house, though no record of such a person was ever found. The spirit was said to have communicated through rapping noises, audible to onlookers. The evidence of the senses appealed to practically-minded Americans, and the Fox sisters became a sensation .many early participants in Spiritualism were radical Quakers and others involved in the mid-nineteenth-century reforming movement. These reformers were uncomfortable with more prominent churches because those churches did little to fight slavery and even less to advance the cause of women's rights. Such links with reform movements, often radically socialist, had already been prepared in the 1840s, as the example of Andrew Jackson Davis shows. After 1848, many socialists became ardent spiritualists or occultists. Socialist ideas, especially in the Fourierist vein, exerted a decisive influence on Kardec and other Spiritists (Wikipedia).

19298053London: Rider & Co 1929. First edition. 8vo 367 1pp. Photos illustrations throughout. Publisher's gray cloth boards ruled in black and lettered on spine in illustrated jacket. Spine slightly cocked scattered mild foxing throughout more pronounced on page block edges. Pale spotting to upper corner of rear board. Jacket with some staining to front panel toning to spine and a few edge tears. Very good. <br /> <br /> Scarce first edition in jacket of this account of the series of séances in 1927-28 arranged by Marquis Carlo Centurione Scotto at the medieval Millesimo Castle in Italy. The Marquis was attempting to contact his son who had died in an airplane crash the year prior and sitting at the séances was accomplished miniature painter and mental medium Gwendolyn Kelley Hack 1877-. <br /> <br /> Hack reported on the extensive range of phenomena which was said to have occurred including the materialization of hands and feet; the levitation of the Marquis to a height of six feet while sitting in a heavy chair; apports and asports; antique weapons engaging in a noisy battle; the movement of sometimes weighty and bulky objects; direct writing; thuds and bangs; the playing of musical instruments as they floated; and other such instances. On one occasion the sitters were creating a favorable atmosphere by singing a fascist song when an illuminated picture of Mussolini was transported from an adjoining room through closed doors. Perhaps most famously the Marquis was transported or asported from the locked séance room necessitating a two-and-a-half-hour search of the castle and grounds. He was eventually found after Mrs Hack received an automatic message through her spirit guide Imperator supplying his location: he was fast asleep on a pile of hay and oats in a granary within the stables the door locked from the outside.<br /> <br /> The aftermath of this publication included scathing reviews from Baron Albert von Schrenck-Notzing Rudolf Lambert and Theodore Besterman. The latter's review was so damning it caused Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was friends with the Marquis to resign from the Society for Psychical Research and begin his open attacks on the society for its bias against spiritualism. <br /> <br /> A scarce book which is very important for its content in terms of 20th century spiritualism and counter movements. Also interesting is the fact that the events surrounding its publication proved to be important and tragic in ACD's life very much influencing his later writing. <br /> <br /> <br /> .
