'This is the best book I have ever read on the border zones between culturaland social history in early modern Europe. It rests on deep beds of sources of a great variety of genres, which gives it a credibility that is rare in the history of medicine and psychiatry in particular and the history of culturein general. The book displays, too, a command of the three professional disciplines of that age - theology, medicine, and law - that is possessed, to my knowledge, by no other living scholar.' Thomas A. Brady, Jr., University of California, Berkeley
