Product Information

In 1691, a Livonian peasant known as Old Thiess boldly announced before a district court that he was a werewolf. Yet far from being a diabolical monster, he insisted, he was one of the "hounds of God," fierce guardians who battled sorcerers, witches, and even Satan to protect the fields, flocks, and humanity--a baffling claim that attracted the notice of the judges then and still commands attention from historians today. In this book, eminent scholars Carlo Ginzburg and Bruce Lincoln offer a uniquely comparative look at the trial and startling testimony of Old Thiess. They present the first English translation of the trial transcript, in which the man's own voice can be heard, before turning to subsequent analyses of the event, which range from efforts to connect Old Thiess to shamanistic practices to the argument that he was reacting against cruel stereotypes of the "Livonian werewolf" a Germanic elite used to justify their rule over the Baltic peasantry. As Ginzburg and Lincoln debate their own and others' perspectives, they also reflect on broader issues of historical theory, method, and politics. Part source text of the trial, part discussion of historians' thoughts on the case, and part dialogue over the merits and perils of their different methodological approaches, Old Thiess, a Livonian Werewolf opens up fresh insight into a remarkable historical occurrence and, through it, the very discipline of history itself.

Reviews

Witch hunts have always been a tool of those in power. As such, they shed light, primarily, on the needs of the ruling classes. Court proceedings on witchcraft and other devilry, however colorful, rarely tell us much about the accused, even when they show defendants prevailed upon to confess (an admission under duress, after all, generally sticks to the required script). Now, with Ginzburg and Lincoln's Old Thiess, a Livonian Werewolf , a glorious corrective has arrived: the full testimony, translated for the first time, of a loud, proud, self-described werewolf., The fun of it all is the interlocutors' brilliance and erudition. Their intellectual range and adroitness is dazzling., This book brings together talks, papers and letters and is more like the dossier of a criminal investigation than an academic study. In the file presented to us, we find Thiess's own statements, the theories (sometimes wildly off-beam) of those previous investigators, and a dialogue between interpretations that extends from the 16th century to the 21st century. In a transcribed conversation between Ginzburg and Lincoln from 2017, the two men revisit the case and pit their theories against each other. The book maintains the tension between viewpoints: neither is wholly convinced by the other, but we see the sifting of evidence and testing of hypotheses - a process that is usually obscured in works that focus on findings or which are driven by a single argument., From the outset it is clear that Lincoln and Ginzburg share extraordinary levels of erudition, curiosity, and ambition, as well as an opposition to the ethno-nationalistic and fascistic overtones they find in some scholarship., Prof Lincoln has collected all of Ginzburg's fragments on the Livonian werewolf; he has also incorporated his own publications on Thiess, a translation (from German into English) of the original trial transcript, and other writings including two discussions between Ginzburg and Lincoln., Ginzburg and Lincoln provide three essential services to those interested in this trial, werewolf scholarship in general, or the wider project of myth and ritual in comparative perspectives: a full translation of the trial documents, excerpts from historically significant secondary scholarship, and a conversation between the two authors on the merits and perils of different methodologies of interpretive approach. These components work together in providing a full picture of the Thiess trial, and both authors are at the top of their respective games as they delve into a conversation on how individual scholars make interpretive choices., [Ginzburg and Lincoln] are historians at the top of their game. . . . [ Old Thiess, a Livonian Werewolf is] fun to read and richly generative., This thought-provoking piece of scholarship offers unique insights on the methods employed by two well-known and extraordinarily learned scholars as they address the most wonderful werewolf of history. Since there has not yet been a monograph on the Thiess trial, this book fills a need, and its excellent English translation of the trial protocol has been long overdue., A discussion of the comparative method in cultural studies and history, between two giants of those disciplines, and a guide to their current thought; and valuable as such., As an exercise in historiographical debate and reflection this volume is really quite brilliant.. . . Yet what makes their dialogue particularly fruitful is the fact that Ginzburg and Lincoln represent, in almost ideal form, the two responses open to historians confronting something completely alien. Do we embrace the unexpected and attempt to understand it on its own terms? Or do we, following in the judges' footsteps, attempt to integrate it within our understanding of what is possible?
