Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the phenomena of hysteria in 18th-century France, providing a unique glimpse into the history of psychology and religious fervor. The author, a devout Catholic, meticulously documents over a hundred cases of alleged miraculous cures and supernatural occurrences surrounding the tomb of François de Paris, a recently deceased deacon. These extraordinary events, ranging from physical healings to visions and prophecies, became central to a conflict between the followers of Jansenism and the dominant Jesuit order. The author presents detailed descriptions of the physical manifestations of hysteria, including convulsions, paralysis, and stigmata-like symptoms, which were believed to be divine interventions. The book also explores the psychological and social factors that contributed to the mass hysteria, examining the role of religious belief, emotional manipulation, and the power of suggestion. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating account of the intersection of religion, medicine, and social history, shedding light on the complexities of human behavior and the enduring power of faith. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
