Witchcraft.- Bovet (Richard) Pandaemonium, or the Devil's Cloyster. Being a further Blow to Modern Sadduceism, Proving the Existence of Witches and Spirits, first edition, engraved frontispiece by J. Sturt (trimmed close at fore-edge), some leaves trimmed close occasionally affecting headline, catchword or signature, occasional light spotting and browning, later calf, gilt, spine faded, small nick to head of lower joint, [Wing B3864], 12mo, Printed for J. Walthoe, 1684.

⁂ Scarce work by Bovet, an investigator of psychic phenomena, who was greatly influenced by the works of Joseph Glanvil. According to Montagu Summers (in his introduction to the 1951 reprint of this work) this was "one of the most extraordinary works in the immense library of occult research", using examples from scripture and the writings of the ancients to support the existence of spirits, and providing accounts "never before printed" of supernatural apparitions and phenomena followed by his own corroboration of their reliability. No copy at auction since the Lenkiewicz copy in 2003.
