"This work on ghosts is one of the earliest works on psychic experiences, illusions, hallucinations, and delusions. The English translation, London, 1572, probably gave Shakespeare some pointers on the behaviour of the ghost in Hamlet"--Garrison-Morton 4916.2 (1570 original edition). GLN-2812 (this edition).
