By what means was a man thought to take the wolf's shape - by salve, by girdle, by the demon's gift or an ancient curse? A methodical inquiry into the reputed craft and nature of the werewolf.
Taken from Montague Summers' The Werewolf (1933), this volume sets out the supposed methods of the werewolf: the means of transformation, the powers and appetites of the beast, and the theories advanced to explain it. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 - 1948) was an English author and clergyman celebrated for his earnest studies of witches, werewolves, and vampires, all of which he held to be quite real; in 1928 he produced the first English translation of the notorious witch-hunters' manual, the Malleus Maleficarum.
This edition features:
- The reputed techniques of transformation, from enchanted girdle and magic salve to the demon's compact and the inherited curse.
- The nature, strength, and hungers of the werewolf, and the fate held to await it in life and in death.
- Summers' survey of classical, Pagan, and Christian theories, weighed with his characteristic learning and belief.
