Beschreibung

Uppsala, J. H. Werner, (1703). Small 8:o. (8),55,(2) pp. With a nice woodcut illustration on p. (7). Sewn as issued and in a worn contemporary marbled backstrip. Title leaf repaired in inner margin. Insert fine. With a contemporary dedication at bottom of title page: "Mons: Termanius". Lidén Catalogus disputationum 29. With celebratory verses by O. Nauclerus and Widichindus Harkman. In the Book of Daniel it is described how the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II is punished by God, who forces him to live as a dumb animal before he regains his intellect and his kingdom. On the nice woodcut in Palmroot's dissertation, which is signed "BT", Nebuchadnezzar is running wild on all fours with the Tower of Babel in the background. On pp. 47-55 in the second chapter lycanthropy, the transformation of people into werewolves, is described, with reference to Olaus Magnus' description of werewolves in Latvia.
