The History Of The Devils Of Loudun V1-3: The Alleged Possession Of The Ursuline Nuns, And The Trial And Execution Of Urbain Grandier (1887) is a three-volume book written by Edmund Goldsmid. It provides a detailed account of the infamous events that took place in the French town of Loudun in the 17th century, where a group of Ursuline nuns claimed to be possessed by demons and accused a local priest, Urbain Grandier, of witchcraft and sorcery. The book covers the trial and execution of Grandier, who maintained his innocence until the very end, as well as the political and religious context of the time. Goldsmid's work is based on primary sources and offers a comprehensive analysis of the events, including the psychological and social factors that may have contributed to the hysteria surrounding the case. The History Of The Devils Of Loudun V1-3 is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of witchcraft and possession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
