Adams W 147; NLM 16th cent. 4735; USTC 606283; VD-16 W 2666. Fourth edition. First edition published in Basel in 1563. Some underlining in red ink occur in the beginning of the book. Some annotations at outer margins. Includes bibliographical references and index. The first major European work to make an empirical, scientific approach to the study of mental illness. At the height of witchcraft delusion he argued that witches were mentally ill women who deserved humane treatment instead of torture and punishment. Weyer reduced the clinical problems of psychopathology to simple terms of everyday life and everyday, human, inner experience (Zilboorg).
