Memorials of Human Superstition: Being a Paraphrase and Commentary on the Historia Flagellantium of the Abbé Boileau, Doctor of the Sorbonne

Memorials of Human Superstition, published in 1784 by Jean Louis de Lolme, is a paraphrase and commentary on Abbé Boileau's Historia Flagellantium. This historical account examines the practice of self-flagellation within Christianity and its connections to pagan traditions, critiquing the superstitions that underpin these customs. De Lolme aims to clarify the disorganized anecdotes presented in Boileau's original work, while discussing the moral implications and historical context of flagellation practices.
