Description: Fascinating work by Carlo Ginzburg and Bruce Lincoln. In 1691, a Livonian peasant known as Old Thiess boldly announced before a district court that he was a werewolf. Yet far from being a diabolical monster, he insisted, he was one of the “hounds of God,” fierce guardians who battled sorcerers, witches, and even Satan to protect the fields, flocks, and humanity—a baffling claim that attracted the notice of the judges then and still commands attention from historians today. Minor edge wear, text is clean and unmarked. Light crease at top corner of cover and first few pages. 289 pages. werewolf, Old Thiess, Livonia, Carlo Ginzburg, shapeshifting, occult, witchcraft, magic, Christianity, Satan, trial, Latvia, 1600s, medieval, mythology, myths, legends, biography
