Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a 17th-century scholar, explores the causes, symptoms, and treatments of melancholy, a widely recognised mental illness and source of physical distress at the time. Its pages expound on the nature of melancholy in all its forms -- simple, compound, material, and immaterial -- analysing its origins in the heavens, the earth, and the waters, as well as the influences of witches, devils, and astrological phenomena. Drawing on a vast selection of sources from antiquity through to the 17th century, this fascinating text presents an incredibly thorough examination of the topic. Its literary value lies in its depth of learning and its unique, meandering style, which incorporates a wealth of historical and literary quotations, creating a rich tapestry of knowledge, wisdom, and wit. 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. print-on-demand item.
