Werewolfism, or lycanthropy was a deeply debated topic and policy during the Renaissance. Parts medical, psychological, mythological, religious, social, cultural, folklore. Culling from ancient history, to medieval medicine, to their era's polity and doxology. By virtue of the attention, werewolves were real.

The first work, a lycanthology, is part of the histhorrory series: focusing on reintroducing classic supernatural creatures, mythologies and symbolisms from books and authors, exploring them from scientific, anthropological, political and cultural perspectives.
