Johann Ernst Burggrav proposes a terrifying and beautiful medical theory: a lamp fueled by human blood that mirrors the life of its donor. This text forces readers to confront the blurred lines between nature, technology, and the occult. You will learn how seventeenth-century physicians attempted to manipulate the very vitality of the human spirit.
