Very difficult to read. Produced by Carolus Raeticus "Dissertationem de hominibvs post mortem sangvisvgis, vvlgo sic dictis Vampyren" by M. Io. Christophorus Pohlivus and Io. Gottlob Hertelivus is a scientific publication likely written in the early 18th century. This dissertation examines the phenomenon of vampirism through an analytical lens, challenging the myths and superstitions surrounding so-called vampires—typically characterized as the undead who supposedly feast on the blood of the living. It meticulously dissects various reports and traditions tied to vampiric activity, aiming to uncover scientific truths behind these legends. The core argument of the dissertation contends that the concept of vampires is rooted in misunderstandings and superstitions rather than any tangible reality. The authors assert that many of the phenomena ascribed to vampires—such as the failure of decomposition in certain bodies, sightings of the dead, and claims of blood draining—can be explained through natural causes, like specific medical conditions or post-mortem physiological processes. Through a series of scrutinized case studies, including a notorious incident involving a soldier named Arnold Paole, the authors conclude that these so-called vampires were manifestations of disease, fear, and cultural hysteria rather than actual supernatural entities. Ultimately, this work serves as a critical examination of societal beliefs regarding death and the aftermath, using a rational approach to dispel the lingering fears of the unexplained.
