Lenglet-Dufresnoy compiles and reproduces here a number of untraceable brochures relating wonderful facts (apparitions, visions, demonic possessions ...) which constitutes a veritable bibliography of the domain.
Curiosity of our copy: at the end of each volume was bound a dozen leaves, duplicate leaves of text, placed in a jumble (probably printer rejects).
