The dietines functioned on a local level, but wielded some power. For example, a dietine was held to elect representatives to the Sejm, to the Notes 193 Crown Tribunal, and to consider reports from the Sejm. There was also a dietine to pass local resolutions or lauda and one that discussed the trade and finance of the province as well as taxes and military affairs.

There are many differing opinions as to what exactly constituted Sarmatism and what its influence was. However, there is general acceptance that it was a belief which influenced noble attitudes and lifestyle based on the notion that the nobility was descended from the ancient tribe of the Sarmatians (some traced back to Noah) who originated from the region north of the Black Sea called Sarmatia. It was popular in the time of the Jagiellonian dynasty, but went into decline during the Saxon period, reaching its apotheosis in the course of the seventeenth century. Frost writes ‘This identity-myth claimed that the szlachta, whether of Polish, Lithuanian, Ruthenian or German descent, formed one political nation, descended from the ancient Sarmatian tribe which had long resisted the Roman Empire. By the mid-seventeenth century the hallmarks of the “Sarmatian nation” were the use of the Polish language, adherence to the Catholic faith and the adoption of a distinctive style of dress, heavily influenced by Turkic and Tatar models, which symbolized the difference between the Polish constitution and the political systems of Western Europeans, whose effete, mincing fashions were taken to denote the domination of society by absolute royal power.’ Frost, Nobilities, pp. 184–5.

The intensification of attention and respect paid to the Eucharist and the significance of transubstantiation has great relevance to descriptions of its abuse in witchcraft. 28. J. Kłoczowski, A History of Polish Christianity (Cambridge, 2000), p. 155. He maintains that thousands of people died as a result of accusations of witchcraft at the end of the seventeenth century and that the witchcraft persecution came directly from Germany, as so many other Polish histor- ians are keen to prove. He regards the decline in the number of cases as directly relative to an increase in accusations of blood libel against Jews. 29. Kaczmarczyk and Leśnodorski, Historia Państwa, p. 177. 30. J.

  • Poisoned Relations: Medicine, Sorcery, and Poison Trials in the Contested Atlantic, 1680-1850
    POISONED RELATIONS: MEDICINE, SORCERY, AND POISON TRIALS IN THE CONTESTED ATLANTIC, 1680-1850 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Chelsea L. Berry, B.A. Washington, DC March 25, 2019 Copyright 2019 by Chelsea L. Berry All Rights Reserved ii POISONED RELATIONS: MEDICINE, SORCERY, AND POISON TRIALS IN THE CONTESTED ATLANTIC, 1680-1850 Chelsea L. Berry, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Alison Games, Ph.D. ABSTRACT From 1680 to 1850, courts in the slave societies of the western Atlantic tried hundreds of free and enslaved people of African descent for poisoning others, often through sorcery. As events, poison accusations were active sites for the contestation of ideas about health, healing, and malevolent powers. Many of these cases centered on the activities of black medical practitioners. This thesis explores changes in ideas about poison through the wave of poison cases over this 170-year period and the many different people who made these changes and were bound up these cases. It analyzes over five hundred investigations and trials in Virginia, Bahia, Martinique, and the Dutch Guianas—each vastly different slave societies that varied widely in their conditions of enslaved labor, legal systems, and histories. It is these differences that make the shared patterns in the emergence, growth, and decline of poison cases, and of the relative importance of African medical practitioners within them, so intriguing. Across these four locations, there was a specific, temporally bounded, and widely shared relationship between poison, medicine, and sorcery in this period.

    A FACIE INIMICI: LA DIMENSIÓN POLÍTICA DE LA DEMONOLOGÍA CRISTIANA EN EL FORTALITIUM FIDEI DE ALONSO DE ESPINA (CASTILLA, SIGLO XV) * ‘A facie inimici’: The Political Dimension of Christian Demonology in Alonso de Espina’s Fortalitium Fidei (Castile, 15th Century) Constanza CAVALLERO** Universidad de Buenos Aires RESUMEN:El presente trabajo se ocupa de reconstruir el lazo que torna inseparables la cuestión demonológica y la dimensión estrictamente “política” –aislable únicamente a efectos analíticos– en la sociedad castellana del siglo XV. A partir del estudio del Fortalitium fidei de Alonso de Espina, se intenta definir en qué medida el discurso demo- nológico, incluso en su versión “moderada”, opera como criterio político por antonomasia en la época y como el lenguaje que permite identificar enemigos, zanjar conflictos y, también, declarar batallas y clausurar otras posibles. Tomando como punto de partida el criterio político expuesto por el discutido jurista alemán Carl Schmitt –esto es, la contraposición Freund-Feind–, se analiza el vínculo medular establecido entre el demonio y los restantes enemigos de la ecclesia combatidos por Espina: herejes judaizantes, judíos y sarracenos. El presente análisis permite no sólo ejemplificar la potencialidad política de la demonología cristiana sino también desplegar las particularidades del discurso sobre el demonio del fraile castellano Alonso de Espina. PALABRAS CLAVE: Demonología. Política. Judíos. Herejes judaizantes. Sarracenos. * Fecha de recepción del artículo: 2011-03-18. Comunicación de evaluación al autor: 2011-07-21.

  • Appendix: Some Common Homicidal Poisons
    Appendix 111 Appendix: Some Common Homicidal Poisons ANTIFREEZE (METHANOL [CH3-OH], OR ETHYLENE GLYCOL [HO-CH2-CH2-OH]) Form: • Methanol (MeOH), also known as methyl alcohol or “wood alcohol,” is the simplest of the alcohols. For chronic alcoholics, this alcohol sometimes serves as a cheap substitute for ethanol (grain alcohol), as in the use of canned Sterno® as a source. Abuse of this toxic alcohol can have very dire consequences (e.g., blindness). • Ethylene glycol is chemically known as 1,2-ethanediol. It is a slightly vis- cous liquid. Color: • Methanol: Colorless. • Ethylene glycol: Colorless. Odor: • Methanol: Slight alcoholic odor. • Ethylene glycol: Odorless. Solubility: • Methanol: Very water soluble. • Ethylene glycol: Very water soluble. It can absorb twice its weight in water. Taste: • Methanol: A burning taste. • Ethylene glycol: Has a sweet taste, which has often led to the accidental ingestion of this substance by household pets. From: Forensic Science and Medicine: Criminal Poisoning, Second Edition By: J. H. Trestrail, III © Humana Press Inc., Totowa, NJ 111 112 Common Homicidal Poisons Source: • Methanol: Is a common ingredient in windshield-washing solutions, dupli- cating fluids, and paint removers and is commonly found in gas-line anti- freeze, which may be 95% (v/v) methanol. • Ethylene glycol: Is commonly found in radiator antifreeze (in a concentration of ~95% [v/v]), and antifreeze products used in heating and cooling systems. Lethal Dose: • Methanol: The fatal dose is estimated to be 30–240 mL (20–150 g). • Ethylene glycol: The approximate fatal dose of 95% ethylene glycol is esti- mated to be 1.5 mL/kg.

Les rapports officiels de la police de l’époque allaient dévoiler l’implication de membres des plus hautes sphères de la société française, y compris du clergé, du parlement, de la noblesse et de l’aristocratie. Mais l’enquête fut rapidement mise sous silence lorsque le roi découvrit l’implication de son ancienne maitresse en titre, la marquise de Montespan, avec qui il avait passé neuf ans de sa vie. Le nom de la dame fut mentionné par de nombreux témoins qui l’impliquèrent dans plusieurs méfaits, dont l’achat et l’utilisation de philtres d’amour et de divers poisons. Mais pis encore, Montespan fut compromise dans des cérémonies de nature blasphématoires organisées en secret par une devineresse du nom de Catherine Montvoisin - dites la Voisin - et son complice, l’abbé Étienne Guibourg. Ces rituels allaient plus tard prendre le nom de messe noire et inspirer une nouvelle forme de religiosité qui allait prendre le nom de satanisme. À partir des éléments révélés durant l’enquête de l’affaire des poisons, le satanisme allait pour la première fois se distinguer des pratiques de la sorcellerie et de la magie rituelle et se définir en tant que système de croyances.
