Discerning Spirits: Divine and Demonic Possession in the Middle Ages - Conjunctions of Religion and Power in the Medieval Past New edition
Nancy Mandeville Caciola
Analyzes a broad array of sources—from saints' lives to medical treatises, exorcists' manuals to miracle accounts—to find that observers came to rely on the discernment of bodies rather than seeking to distinguish between divine and demonic possession in purely spiritual terms.
