"Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a prolific writer, priest, and an eclectic scholar. He considered collecting folk songs and lore to be among his greatest achievements. His studies of folklore led him to delve into the study of werewolves and why superstitions about lycanthropy persisted over the ages in so many cultures. In addition to providing a history of the subject in this book he also recounts in detail the story of the Maréchal de Retz, who was executed in 1440 for the serial murders of children but was also suspected of being a werewolf. This work is one of the most frequently cited studies on the subject. Bound in the original red publisher's cloth with ornate gilt title to spine and gilt ornament with figure of a wolf on the front cover." -- description from The Kelmscott Bookshop, bookseller.

A reference book for the 19th-century werewolf seeker, Sabine Baring-Gould’s ‘The Book of Were-Wolves’ explores the trying tales and magic myths of werewolves from ancient folklore, Greek and Norse myths. Unpacking the truth behind legendary beliefs, cases of Lycanthropy, and tips and tricks for curing yourself of a werewolf conviction, Baring-Gould deep dives into the dark psychological reasons as to how and why people may believe themselves to be part wolf. Asking the age-old question of how anyone can feel capable of maiming and killing another being, ‘The Book of Were-Wolves’ invites readers to ponder how and why some members of society may harbour secret desires to inflict cruelty on other animals - big and small. Weaving an intoxicating narrative, ‘The Book of Were-Wolves’ is ideal for fans of Netflix’s ‘Werewolves Within’. Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a British novelist and Anglican priest. A prolific writer, his bibliography spans more than one thousand publications, including the best-known hymns ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’, ‘Sing Lullaby’ and ‘Now the Day is Over’. Baring-Gould's interest in folklore led to the publication of one of the most frequently cited studies of lycanthropy, ‘The Book of Were-Wolves’.

The Book of Were-Wolves Folk-Lore Relating to Were-Wolves by Sabine Baring-Gould A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (e.g. via a bite or scratch from another werewolf). Early sources for belief in lycanthropy are Petronius and Gervase of Tilbury. WHAT is Lycanthropy? The change of manor woman into the form of a wolf, either through magical means, so as to enable him or her to gratify the taste for human flesh, or through judgment of the gods in punishment for some great offence. This is the popular definition. Truly it consists in a form of madness, such as may be found in most asylums. Among the ancients this kind of insanity went by the names of Lycanthropy, Kuanthropy, or Boanthropy, because those afflicted with it believed themselves to be turned into wolves, dogs, or cows. But in the North of Europe, as we shall see, the shape of a bear, and in Africa that of a hyæna, were often selected in preference. A mere matter of taste! According to Marcellus Sidetes, of whose poem {Greek perì lukanðrw'pou} a fragment exists, men are attacked with this madness chiefly in the beginning of the year, and become most furious in February; retiring for the night to lone cemeteries, and living precisely in the manner of dogs and wolves.

This book is one of the most cited references about werewolves. The Book of the Were-Wolf takes a rationalistic approach to the subject. The book starts off with a straightforward academic review of the literature of shape-shifting; however, starting with Chapter XI, the narrative takes a strange turn into sensationalistic 'true crime' case-studies of cannibals, grave desecrators, and blood fetishists, which have a tenuous connection with lycanthropy. This includes an extended treatment of the case of Giles de Rais, the notorious associate of Joan of Arc, who was convicted and executed for necrosadistic crimes. The first ten chapters of this book constitute an essential work on the subject of werewolves. Sabine Baring-Gould an archaeologist, folklorist, historian and a prolific author. Baring-Gould was also a bit eccentric. He reputedly taught classes with a pet bat on his shoulder.
