The celebrated Tournefort, sent'into the Levant by Louis XIV. , as well as so many other virtuosi, was wit- ness of all the acts attributed to one of these "brou- colacas, " and to this ceremony. After slander, nothing is communicated more promptly than superstition, fanaticism, sorcery, and tales of those raised from the dead. There were "broucolacas" in Wallachia, Moldavia, and some among the Polanders, who are of the Romish church. This superstition being absent, they ac- quired it, and it w...ent through all the east of Ger- many. Nothing was spoken of but vampires, from 1730 to 1735 ; they were laid in wait for, their hearts torn out and burned. They resembled the ancient martyrs the more they were burned, the more they abounded. Finally, Calmet became their historian, and treated vampires as he treated the Old and New Testaments, by relating faithfully all that has been said before him. The most curious things, in my opinion, were the Vol. 14 10 146 Philosophical verbal suits juridically conducted, concerning the dead who went from their tombs to suck the little boys and girls of their neighborhood.
