wrapSadduscimus Triumphatus
by Joseph Glanvil, 1726

Glanvil was an Oxford graduate who became the chaplain to King Charles II. Glanvil's study of the occult was inspired by a belief that there was a scientific basis to events of the supernatural and this book was written to refute the disbelievers and confirm the existence of witchcraft. Most of the stories in the book are anecdotal, derived from informal meetings at Ragley Castle, which were attended by other investigators, as well as psychics and mediums who demonstrated their abilities. Glanvil had only one personal experience with witchcraft, and that came through an encounter with an epileptic. In spite of his gullibility, Glanvil tried to be objective in his studies of the supernatural. George Lyman Kittredge wrote of Glanvil's work, 'It was thought to have put the belief in appartitions and witchcraft on an unshakable basis of science and philosophy. No other English work on the subject had a more powerful influence.
