Louise Lateau of Bois D'Haine was a Belgian woman who experienced religious ecstasies and stigmata, or wounds similar to those of Christ, on her body. This book, written by Ferdinand J. M. Lefebvre in 1873, is a medical study of Lateau's life and experiences. Lefebvre, a physician, examines Lateau's physical and mental health, as well as the possible causes and explanations for her ecstasies and stigmata. He also includes accounts of Lateau's religious visions and the reactions of those around her, both believers and skeptics. This book provides a unique insight into the phenomenon of stigmata and the religious fervor of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
