Curious Myths of the Middle Ages. E-book. Formato EPUB Sabine Baring-Gould   -  E-Bookarama, 2025  - 

First published in 1876, "Curious Myths of the Middle Ages," is a collection of 12 of the most commonly held superstitions of the Medieval era. One of the most brilliant, eclectic thinkers in Victorian England, the Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould was intrigued by the grotesque and often savage history of the Middle Ages. The noted author and folklorist’s fascination with the period resulted in this absorbing compilation of vintage tales surrounding such figures as William Tell and the Man in the Moon.In addition to outlines of the myths, the author provides an objective analysis of their origins, relevance, and the extent of their basis in fact. Fascinating sources include Christian adaptations of prehistoric legends, misinterpretations of actual events, and outright fabrications."Curious Myths of the Middle Ages" was one of Baring-Gould's most successful publications. 

The Book of Were-Wolves. E-book. Formato EPUB Sabine Baring-Gould   -  E-Bookarama, 2025  - 

First published in 1865, Sabine Baring-Gould’s "The Book of Were-Wolves" is the first serious academic study and one of the finest ever done on the subject of lycanthropy and werewolf lore.With the shocking histories of 10 famous cases, this classic blends science, superstition, and fiction to tell the full story of the were-wolves among us. Not relegating the were-wolf just to a secular and sceptical study, nor simply to spiritual banter, Baring-Gould manages to compress an enormous span of historical material into his work; a work which is no doubt of value to the academic and those involved with the occult at the same time.
