Dear Rachel,

You’ll find a wealth of information on demonic pregnancy (both of a female demon, a succubus, through intercourse with a human male, and of a human female through intercourse with a male demon, an incubus) in: Maaike Van der Lugt. Le ver, le démon et la vierge: Les théories médiévales de la génération extraordinaire: Une étude sur les rapports entre théologie, philosophie naturelle et médecine. L'Âne d'Or. Paris: Les Belles Lettres, 2004.

Dear all,

I am seeking any examples or references (preferably with english translations) to demonic pregnancy and possession in the 11-13th century. I have examples of divine/mystical pregnancies, however, I would like to contrast that to a demonic episode!

Best Wishes,

Rachel Allerton
