Werewolves: The Book of Were-Wolves by Sabine Baring-Gould, Werwolves by Elliott O'Donnell, The Origin of the Werewolf Superstition by Caroline Taylor. Illustrated by Sabine Baring-Gould,Elliott O'Donnell,Caroline Taylor Pdf

Legends of wolf-men exist in the beliefs of almost all peoples and cultures. The terror of werewolves reached a climax in the late Middle Ages when Kramer’s Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of Witches) linked the creatures to religious heresy, Satanism, and witchcraft. He described the wolf-man transformation as the result of malevolent witchcraft and presented shapeshifting as a common, demonic practice. Baring-Gould’s study on werewolves successfully manages to compress an enormous span of historical material into his work. The book is valuable to academics, those interested in folklore, and any wishing to learn more about the occult.

The Book of Were-wolves by Sabine Baring-Gould Pdf

"Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a prolific writer, priest, and an eclectic scholar. He considered collecting folk songs and lore to be among his greatest achievements. His studies of folklore led him to delve into the study of werewolves and why superstitions about lycanthropy persisted over the ages in so many cultures. In addition to providing a history of the subject in this book he also recounts in detail the story of the Maréchal de Retz, who was executed in 1440 for the serial murders of children but was also suspected of being a werewolf. This work is one of the most frequently cited studies on the subject. Bound in the original red publisher's cloth with ornate gilt title to spine and gilt ornament with figure of a wolf on the front cover." -- description from The Kelmscott Bookshop, bookseller.

The Book of Were-Wolves (Study on Lycanthropy) by Sabine Baring-Gould Pdf

The Book of Were-Wolves is a classic work of European lore on lycanthropy in particular pertaining to werewolves. The book deals with three subjects: 1) Summarizing folklore and beliefs about werewolves and related phenomena; 2) Collecting specific cases from ancient, medieval, and modern histories; 3) Explaining the origins of the beliefs and demythologize the superstition. The author treats the phenomenon of the werewolf as a psychological aberration, as essentially a delusional state. He also relates it to cannibalism and to the behavior of the notorious Norse berserkers, who would suffer from an insane battle rage. Speculations on the origin the various names by which werewolves were known in different European languages is intriguing, especially the idea that the term may derive from a word for an outlaw, a man condemned effectively to run with the wolves.

The Book of Were-wolves by Sabine Baring-Gould Pdf

...A fascinating and exhaustive historical survey and critical analysis of the legend of the were-wolf, including actual trials and events from history. Author Sabine Baring-Gould created a foundation work of modern supernatural lore when he published his definitive Book of Were-wolves in 1865. The book is a fascinating survey of were-wolf lore from the Greek and Roman era to the mid-nineteenth century. Baring-Gould cites hundreds of sources as he builds his case for the "reality" of were-wolverie. His approach to the subject is analytical and modern. His conclusions are extraordinary. Thirty years before Jack the Ripper, he concluded that were-wolves are what the modern era would come to know as serial killers or sexual psychopaths. Using the best psychological, sociological, historical, anthropological, mythological and medical theories and ideas of his day, he uncannily identified several key characteristics of these killers. And his conclusions have withstood the test of time. Baring-Gould takes the the reader on an intriguing journey through a poorly understood and dark side of legend, history and human nature.
