by Augustin Calmet

Published February 2001
Augustin Calmet's classic work, "The Phantom World", first published in 1746, examines a rich and varied selection of supernatural tales and beliefs from the stance of logician or scientific enquirer. He seeks to understand the truth behind the stories of good and bad angels, magic, apparitions, vampires, witchcraft, possesson by demons, and the dead who come back to life.
