Modern Occultism in Late Imperial Russia traces the history of occult thought and practice from its origins in private salons to its popularity in turn-of-the-century mass culture. In lucid prose, Julia Mannherz examines the ferocious public debates of the 1870s on higher dimensional mathematics and the workings of su00e9ance phenomena, discusses the world of cheap instruction manuals and popular occult journals, and looks at haunted houses, which brought together the rural settings and the urban masses that obsessed over them. In addition, Mannherz looks at reactions of Russian Orthodox theologians to the occult.In spite of its prominence, the role of the occult in turn-of-the-century Russian culture has been largely ignored, if not actively written out of histories of the modern state. For specialists and students of Russian history, culture, and science, as well as those generally interested in the occult, Mannherz's fascinating study remedies this gap and returns the occult to its rightful place in the popular imagination of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Russian society.

"The witch came to prominence--and often a painful death--in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake.

This book sets the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and North and South America, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated"--

"Zijn er tussen wetenschap, geloof en magie waterdichte schotten te plaatsen? Is er een verschil tussen een wonderbaarlijk mirakel en een te mijden toverkunstje? Is de rede enkel te vinden in de wetenschap of speelt die ook een rol in religie en magie? Hoe stond de kerk tegenover wetenschappelijke bevindingen? Raoul Bauer gaat op zoek naar antwoorden op deze vragen en vindt ze onder meer in de geschriften van de grote wetenschappers uit de middeleeuwen. We leren Isidorus van Sevilla kennen die een encyclopedie schrijft die eeuwenlang gebruikt wordt. Beda Venerabilis, dé wetenschapper bij uitstek van de achtste eeuw, onderzoekt mirakels, berekent de paasdatum en denkt na over het fenomeen van de getijden. Via de Karolingische renaissance komt Gerbert van Aurillac aan het woord, de paus-wiskundige van het 'merkwaardige' jaar 1000." --
