Bhayro Siam, Rider Catherine (eds.). Demons and Illness from Antiquity to the Early-Modern Period. Leiden, Boston: Brill,2017. — xiv, 434 p.. 2017

This volume contains selected papers from the Demons and Illness: Theory and Practice from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period conference, held at the University of Exeter (April 22-24, 2013). We would like to thank Claire Keyte for all her hard work in organising what turned out to be a very successful and happy gathering of scholars from eleven countries. We would also like to thank the University of Exeter's Centre for Medical History and College of Humanities for providing funding, and the Royal Historical Society and the British Society for the History of Science for financing student bursaries. During the confer­ence, we were very ably assisted by the following students: Tamsin Gardner, Lori Lee Oates, Abigail Pearson and Harriet Walker. The following colleagues participated in the conference without presenting papers: Professor Jonathan Barry, Dr Peter Elmer, Professor Morwenna Ludlow (all from the University of Exeter), Dr Jo Edge (Royal Holloway, University of London) and Professor Marco Moriggi (Università di Catania). As part of the festivities, a public lec­ture was presented by Professor Lauren Kassell (University of Cambridge) at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (Exeter)—we would like to thank the museum staff, in particular Penny Hammond, for facilitating this event. We are grateful to the publisher, and would like to extend a special thanks to Katelyn Chin and Meghan Connolly for their enthusiasm and support. Finally, on a per­sonal note, we are very grateful to our partners, Lisa and Laurence, for their constancy and encouragement; and Catherine would also like to thank Siam for holding the fort in the last stages of the editing while she was on maternity leave.
