Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] History of Vampires Inquiry
Hi,
I hope maybe someone could point me in a direction on this. First off I'm trying to put together a bibliography of pamphlets, manuscripts, or other historical documents regarding vampires. For example, one title I've located is Die Geschicht Dracole Waide which is a 1488 pamphlet printed in Nuremberg. My other problem is trying to figure out where these might be obtained--a collector, antiquarian dealer, or a library.
Any help that could be provided would be most appreciated!!
Best wishes,
Cait
