  • Medical Martyrs

    Andrew KeittARTICLEEarly Science and Medicine2018

  • Rethinking with Demons

    Andrew KeittARTICLEPreternature Critical and…2017Referencias: 8

    Popular religion in late medieval and early modern Europe posited an invisible world densely populated with both personal spirits and impersonal forces that interacted constantly with the natural and social realms in ambiguous and unpredictable ways.

    Andrew KeittARTICLESixteenth Century Journal2005Citada por: 7
