Etonnant manuel de potions et remèdes secrets composé par un chirurgien de lest de la France au début du 18e siècle à son usage, manuscrit réunissant des centaines de recettes trouvées ou expérimentée par lui dont certaines relèvent de lalchimie et de la sorcellerie. Son auteur, Mr Le Moine était chirurgien à St Boingt, petite ville du département de Meurthe et Moselle proche des villes de garnisons de Nancy et Lunéville. La présence de deux gravures placées (postérieurement?) en frontispice du manuel, représentant les batailles de Philipsbourg (17 juillet 1734) et de Parme (29 juin 1734) indique que Le Moine exerçait son activité au sein de larmée. Le nom dun second possesseur, dont le nom a été en partie effacé, était lui aussi chirurgien. Le style de la reliure, le papier, lécriture et plusieurs références à des ouvrages permettent de dater le début de sa rédaction au premier quart du 18éme siècle et son utilisation jusquà au moins 1774 (date du prospectus imprimé sur la « Boule blanche contrecollé in-fine). Notre manuscrit est donc contemporain de LÉdit de Louis XIV du 17 janvier 1708 qui crée les charges de médecins et de chirurgiens dans les armées, officialisant une organisation étatique visant à assurer la cohérence du système de prise en charge des blessés et des malades militaires. Notre manuel est ensuite passé par la bibliothèque dune congrégation religieuse, celle de lancien séminaire de St Die, aujourdhui disparu (cachet humide en bas de la première page). Les vestiges d'un fermoir métallique permettant le verrouillage de la reliure attestent que les recettes notre "Recueil contenant plusieurs secrets" ne devaient pas tomber entre toutes les mains. Louvrage renferme une vaste série de diverses potions et remèdes pour interagir dans les domaines de la médecine, de la chirurgie, de l'esthétique. Y figure également des recettes ou élixirs touchant au domaine de la sorcellerie et de lalchimie ainsi quaux vertus des pierres précieuses (alchimie). Des ajouts, notes ou commentaires dans les marges et le bas des pages complètent certaines recettes. Page 407 est indiqué le prix des drogues pris chez Mr Du Molard, apoticaire à Lunéville pour peindre » Il sagit dune liste de pigments probablement utilisés pour la coloration des préparations. Une importante table des matières de 14 pages rédigée à la fin du texte permettait à son utilisateur de retrouver pour chaque patologie : baumes, cataplasmes, tisanes, sirops, élixirs, bouillons, emplâtres, pommades ainsi que la liste des maladies physiques et mentales, plaies, blessures et les « recettes » pour traiter des questions qui sortent du domaine de la médecine : (pour avoir la paix dans la maison (p.42), faire parler une femme en dormant, pierre admirable qui guerit toute sorte de plaie ou blessure » (P. 345), pour faire le Simil or "Le diamant est admirable contre les ennemis, met en fuite les bêtes féroces et vénéneuses, font terminer les différents et les procès et il est fort bon contre les poisons et les folets il faut le porter du côté gauche...". "Pour les yeux - qui portera les pieds de l'alouette sur soi ne sera jamais persécuté au contraire sera toujours victorieux et les ennemis le craindront Les vertus du chat huant si l'on met son coeur avec son pied droit sur une personne endormie, elle dira aussy tost ce qu'elle aura fait et répondra aux demandes qu'on luy fera. De plus, si l'on met cela sous l'aisselle, les chiens ne pourront luy aboyer... Les vertus du corbeau... Si on fait cuire les oeufs et qu'on les remette dans le nid où on les aura pris, aussitost le corbeau s'en va dans une île... Et en apporte une pierre avec laquelle touchant les oeufs il les fait revenir au meme estat qu'ils estoient aupparavant, ce qui est tout à fait surprenant... « Si on met cette pierre à une bague, avec une feuille de laurier et qu'ensuite on en touche quelqu'un qui sera enchainé ou la serrure d'une porte fermée aussy tost les chaines se romperont". "Les vertus de la tourterelle. Si l'on porte le coeur de cet oiseau dans une peau de loup, il esteindra tous les feux de la concupiscence et les désirs amoureux et que l'on en frotte de son sang meslé avec de l'eau où on aura fait bouillir une taupe, tous les poils qui seront noirs tomberont et les poils du cheval deviendront blancs... De la belette : si quelqu'un mange son coeur encore palpitant, il prédira l'avenir". "Si l'on attache à la manche de la main droite l'oeil droit d'un loup, ny les hommes, ny les chiens, ny aucuns autres animaux ne pourront lui nuire ou faire mal.... Pour se faire aimer de la femme, prenez de la fiente de bouc... La dépouille de serpent appliquée sur la hanche de la femme en travail la fait accoucher promptement". "Pour faire dire à une fille ou une femme tout ce qu'elle sait en dormant, prenez le coeur d'un pigeon avec la tête d'une grenouille... Pour faire concevoir une femme, il faut réduire la corne de cerf en poudre et la mester avec de la fiente de vache..." (p.27) Un chapitre donne les ingrédients pour concevoir l'eau de Monsieur Dalibour (célèbre élixir "eau de Dalibour" inventé en 1700 par le célèbre chirurgien et qui avait des vertus antiseptiques). A noter une: "Recette de l'herbe de Constantinople, autrement appelé Pétun" ou tabac ». Manuscrit parfaitement conservé dans sa reliure dorigine. 1 vol. in-folio (362 x 250 mm), manuscript in brown ink of 407 pp, [7] ff. of tables, 2 engravings placed in frontispiece and a printed in finé, and some handwritten leaves and half-leaves inserted; commentary notes and addition in black ink by another hand. (numbering errors but text quite complete: 2 p. 174, jump from 176 to 178 and 225 to 236, 2 p. 225, jump from 239 to 230, from 276 to 278, from 310 to 312, 2 p. 326, jump from 329 to 340, 2 p. 344, jump from 352 to 354, from 372 to 374 and from 382 to 384; stains and handling defects). Contemporary full brown cloth, spine ribbed and titled Recueil de secrets, red edges, remnants of a metal clasp. Amazing manual of potions and secret remedies composed by a surgeon in eastern France in the early 18th century for his own use, a manuscript containing hundreds of recipes found or experimented with by him, some of which are related to alchemy and witchcraft. The author, Mr Le Moine, was a surgeon in St Boingt, a small town in the Meurthe et Moselle département close to the garrison towns of Nancy and Lunéville. Two (later?) engravings on the frontispiece of the manual, depicting the battles of Philipsbourg (July 17, 1734) and Parma (June 29, 1734), indicate that Le Moine worked in the army. A second owner, whose name has been partly erased, was also a surgeon. The style of the binding, the paper, the handwriting and several references to other works date it from the first quarter of the 18th century, and its use until at least 1774 (the date of the prospectus printed on the Boule blanche pasted on the back). Our manuscript is therefore contemporary with Louis XIV's Edict of January 17, 1708, which created the posts of physicians and surgeons in the armies, formalizing a state organization designed to ensure a coherent system of care for wounded and sick soldiers. Our manual then passed through the library of a religious congregation, that of the former seminary of St Die, now defunct (wet stamp at the bottom of the first page). The remnants of a metal clasp used to lock the binding attest that the recipes in our Recueil contenant plusieurs secrets were not meant to fall into every hand. The work contains a wide range of potions and remedies for use in medicine, surgery and aesthetics. It also includes recipes and elixirs relating to witchcraft and alchemy, as well as the virtues of precious stones (alchemy). Additions, notes or comments in the margins and bottom of the pages complete certain recipes. Page 407 lists the 'price of drugs taken from Mr. Du Molard, apoticaire in Lunéville for painting', a list of pigments probably used for coloring preparations. An extensive 14-page table of contents at the end of the text enabled the user to find for each ailment: balms, poultices, herbal teas, syrups, elixirs, broths, plasters, ointments... as well as a list of physical and mental illnesses, wounds, injuries and recipes for dealing with issues outside the realm of medicine: (pour avoir la paix dans la maison (p.42 ), to make a woman talk in her sleep, an admirable stone that heals all kinds of wounds.... (P. 345), to make Simil gold The diamond is admirable against enemies, puts ferocious and poisonous beasts to flight, brings disputes and lawsuits to an end and is very good against poisons and folets; it must be worn on the left side.... For the eyes - who will carry the feet of the lark on himself will never be persecuted on the contrary will be always victorious and the enemies will fear him The virtues of the cat huant if one puts his heart with his right foot on a sleeping person, he will say aussy tost what he will have made and will answer the requests which one will make to him. What's more, if you put it under the armpit, dogs won't be able to bark at it... The virtues of the raven... If you cook the eggs and put them back in the nest where you took them, the crow will go to an island... And brings a stone with which, touching the eggs, he returns them to the same state they were in before, which is quite surprising... If you put this stone in a ring, with a laurel leaf, and then touch someone who is chained, or the lock of a closed door, the chains will break. The virtues of the turtle-dove. If one carries the heart of this bird in a wolf skin, it will extinguish all the fires of concupiscence and amorous desires, and if one rubs its blood mixed with water in which a mole has been boiled, all the black hairs will fall out and the horse hairs will become white.... Of the weasel: if someone eats its still-beating heart, it will foretell the future. If you attach a wolf's right eye to the sleeve of your right hand, neither men nor dogs nor any other animal will be able to harm it or do it any harm.... To make a woman love you, take goat droppings... Snake skin applied to the hip of a woman in labor makes her give birth promptly. To make a girl or woman say all she knows in her sleep, take the heart of a pigeon with the head of a frog.... To make a woman conceive, powder deer horn and mester it with cow dung... (p.27) One chapter gives the ingredients for making Monsieur Dalibour's water (the famous elixir Dalibour's water invented in 1700 by the famous surgeon, which had antiseptic virtues). Of particular note is a Recipe for the herb of Constantinople, otherwise known as Petun or tobacco. Manuscript perfectly preserved in its original binding.

Scarce first edition of Bodin's seminal ""Demon-Mania"", the most important book on witchcraft of the era. The work profoundly influenced the position on witchcraft of the following half century and directly influenced the course of witch trials of this period. The work is furthermore of fundamental importance to the understanding of Bodin's tripartite world picture and constitutes an invaluable supplement to his ""Six livres de la république"".""Jean Bodin's ""On the Demon-Mania of Witches"" (De la démonomanie des sorciers) appeared in 1580 and rapidly became a major publishing success. It underwent at least twenty-three editions and was translated from its original French into German, Italian and Latin. It was surely the most published work of the era on the subject of demons and witches. Because of its wide distribution, it has been considered by generations of historians to have been an extremely influential book, responsible in itself for large-scale prosecutions of witches in the four or five decades following its appearance."" (Pearl, p. 9).The present first edition constitutes not only the original version of the work, but also the model for all French editions that followed (as well as the later translations) - as many as 11 between 1581 and 1616. Bodin edited an edition in 1587, which contained some additions"" that edition is considered very flawed, however, and no subsequent editions were based upon it. Jean Bodin (1529/30 - 1596), ""one of the towering figures in the history of French thought"" (Scott), was a lawyer, economist, natural philosopher, historian, and one of the major political theorists of the sixteenth century. His main work, the ""Six livres de la république"" is one of the most important works of modern political thought. Here Bodin gave the first systematic statement of sovereignty and coined the term ""political science"". With his theory of the State and statement of Sovereignty, he fundamentally changed the history of political thought in the West. The ""Six livres de la république"" is Bodin's most famous and frequently read work. Due to the seemingly ""supernatural"" contents of the ""Démonomanie"", scholars have had difficulties recognizing the Bodin of the ""Six livres"" in this work, which, within its domain, was just as influential. There has been, however, increasing recognition of the political contents of the ""Démonomanie"", and a tendency towards reconciliation of the great works by this towering figure of early modern French thought. First of all, the work is written with the same impressive thoroughness and style as Bodin's other works. Second, although based upon a concrete sorcery case, the ""Démonomanie"" is of the utmost importance to the understanding of Bodin's tripartite world picture and his attempts at maintaining a clear line of separation between the world of nature and the supernatural. His monumental conception of ""Theatrum Naturae"" is just as dominant as a thematical background in his ""Démonomanie"" as it is in his ""Six livres"" and there ought to be no doubt about the fact that the basic features of his system of thought are dominant in the present work, which due to its concrete matter of investigation is all the more interesting. In fact, the ""Démonomanie"" is now considered an invaluable source for the general thought of the great political thinker. With its two-fold turn of focus on social problems and questions of natural-philosophical and theological character, the ""Démonomanie"", in accordance with Bodin's scientific plan of life, marks the transition from ""human sciences"" to ""the science of natural and divine things"". ""Contrary to the judgment of the Enlightenment thinkers, this midway-position does not reduce its value in the Bodin corpus"" on the contrary: Precisely this work is suitable for clarifying and illustrating the unity of his works."" (Own translation from the German. Lange, p. 162). Concerning himself with witchcraft and demonology, it is in this work that we find an emphasized statement of Bodin's thoughts on women, on punishing and sentencing, and on the general threats of state and society. Having experienced severe criticism of his earlier works, Bodin's critics became more serious and dangerous with regard to his ""Démonimanie"". In his letter of dedication (December 20, 1579) to Christophle de Thou, the first president of the Parlement of Paris, Bodin explained his motives for writing the work. ""First, he hoped to denounce the mania, the spiritual errors, and distraction, as well as the ""fury"" that sorcerers possess as they ""chase after the devil."" He wrote this treaty with two purposes in mind: on the one hand, ""to use it as a warning to all who will see him [the devil],"" and on the other hand, ""to alert readers that there is no crime that could be more atrocious or deserve more serious punishment."" Bodin wished to speak out against those who ""try by all means to rescue the sorcerers through printed books."" He reminded all that ""Satan has men in his grasp who write, publish, and speak claiming that nothing that is said about sorcerers is true."" It was essential to provide the tools to magistrates and judges, who were confronted by the accused sorcerers, in order to face this formidable problem. The work was bold and perilous for its author. Many wondered if Bodin, so curious about this topic, such an expert, so convinced of the devil's existence, may not himself have been involved with witchcraft. These suspicions alarmed the authorities, and on June 3, 1587, the general prosecutor to the Parlement of Paris ordered the general lieutenant of the baillage of Laon to proceed with a search of Bodin's home, on suspicion of witchcraft. This inspection brought no results due to the intervention of eight prominent citizens and two priests who registered their support of Bodin."" (SEP).""The conclusions of the proceedings against a witch, to which I was summoned on the last day of April, 1578, gave me occasion to take up my pen in order to throw some light on the subject of witches, which seems marvelously strange to everyone and unbelievable to many... And because there were some who found the case strange and almost unbelievable, I decided to write this treatise which I have entitled ""The Demon-Mania of Witches"", on account of the madness which makes them chase after devils: to serve as a warning to all those who read it, in order to make it clearly known that there are no crimes which are nearly as vile as this one, or which deserve more serious penealties. Also partly to respond to those who in printed books try to save witches by every means, so that it seems Satan has inspired them and drawn them to his line in order to publish these fine books."" (Bodin's Preface).A feature which clearly distinguishes Bodin's theories on witchcraft from late medieval and early Renaissance demonology is his struggle against skepticism, and the gender strategies that he deploys in the present work to thwart Skeptics, constitute a central feature of his modern demonology - a demonology that came to be dominating for more than half a century. The ""Démonomanie"" is a work designed to update a vast corpus concerned with the identification and punishment of witches. It provides us quite clearly with Bodin's thoughts on divinity, punishment, practice of law, and not least on women - women in general and women in society. ""[W]omen generally serve as means to an end in Bodin's thought. The wife's natural inferiority to the husband provides an analogy for a nonreciprocal relation of command and obedience that he establishes between the sovereign and his subjects in ""De la république"". In ""De la démonomanie"", Bodin's portrayal of women as the possessors of unsavory secrets and his characterization of the confessions of witches as fragments of a grandly devilish design create the need for hermeneutical expertise - expertise that he claimed to have. In using women to ""think with"", the author of ""De la démonomanie"" had much in common with his opponent, the Lutharen physician Johann Weyer, who protested against the witch trials in ""De praestigiis daemonum"" (1563)."" (Wilkin p. 53).An important part of Bodin's defence of the existence of witchcraft lies in the latter part of the present work, namely the pages 218-252, which constitute the famous refutation of the opinions of Johann Weyer (""Refutation des opinions de Jean Wier""). In his ""De praestigiis daemonum"" from 1563, Weyer had argued that that which we call witchcraft are actually manifestations caused by mental illness of the women in question. It is interesting to see how much Bodin actually drew on Weyer, while at the same time attacking him on both scholarly and legal grounds. As the thorough and classically bred scholar that he was, he cited both classical, Arab, and Christian authorities on witchcraft against Weyer. He arrays the authority of all philosophers, prophets, theologians, lawgivers, jurists, rulers, etc. Ultimately, Bodin here became the first to challenge Weyer's denial of the right to judge and punish the mentally ill, making the work of foundational importance to the following development of legal theory specifically targeted on the punishment of insane men and women. ""As a major Renaissance scholar, Bodin based his work on an extensive and varied group of sources. He depended heavily on the Old Testament, classical and patristic authorities and a large number of medieval scholastic works. He was immersed in the late medieval legal and canon law traditions. He also cited a large number of recent and contemporary texts like the ""Malleus meleficarum"", as well as accounts told by friends and acquaintances. Interestingly, while Bodin condemned the work of Johann Weyer, he mined this book for anecdotes and accounts when they could be useful."" (Pearl).The refutation of Weyer shows Bodin as a formidable controversialist. The reason why the ""Démonomanie"" is published two years after the trial of Jeanne Harvillier, which is constitutes the concrete basis of the work, is that Bodin needed time to carefully prepare the most effective resonse to Weyer's works and attach it to his own. Bodin seeks total demolishment of his opponent - and, as time will tell, he succeeds. Despite some modern disciples, Weyer's position was largely traditional. His aim is not to deny the existence of Satan, nor of satanic practitioners, but rather to contend that those suspected of witchcraft are delusional and victims of mental illness. ""Weyer's characterization of women replicated the views of the ""Malleus Maleficarum"" (1487), or ""witches hammer"", one of the first and certainly the most influential manual for identifying and prosecuting witches... Weyer draws from the same sources as Kramer to argue that women cannot be held accountable for the crimes for which they stand accused and to which they often confess... Vying with the author of the ""Malleus"", weyer inscribes in etymology the correspondence between the soft female body and her persuasive mind... Weyer's portrayal of women diverges from that of Kramer only in his assessment of the witch's responsibility."" (Wilkin, pp. 13-14).""The essentially melancholic imagination of women, he argues, makes them incapable of the sense perception to which he assigned pride of place in the search for truth. The madness with which Weyer diagnosed witches thus masked the contradiction that vitiated his plea. Identifying the susceptibility to demonic illusion as a feminine trait was to compartmentalize it, to limit implicitly the damage that the Devil could inflict elsewhere - for instance, on the perception of learned physicians. Those who refuted ""De praestigiis daemonum"" rejected the hermeneutical advantage that Weyer claimed for himself. To the gender strategy by which he claimed his advantage, however, they did not object. Weyer's vociferous adversary, Jean Bodin, decried the physician's medical diagnosis of witches"" nevertheless, he called upon woman to embody his opposing hermeneutics. The phenomenon that Clark has felicitously termed ""thinking with demons"" was thus, I argue, inseparable from another thought process: ""Thinking with women""."" (Wilkin, pp. 9-10).The ""Démonomanie"" also constitutes a seminal exercise in jurisprudence, which came to set the standard for following decades. Bodin's aim was not only to make sure that witches were judged and punished, he also aimed at fair trial rules according to principles of law developed over centuries in the secular and ecclesiastical courts. Also in this way, the work differs profoundly from other works on demonology and witchcraft and shows us the author as a profound political and legal thinker, whose aim was to alter society for the better. Because this interesting work places itself amidst the divine and the earthly, between the supernatural and the natural, we find in it a wealth of themes that go beyond the actual witch trial with which Bodin begins his work. It is also for these reasons that the work provides us with an even more thorough knowledge of the foundational thoughts of the great legal and political thinker that is its author.
