esting treatise on the subject is the nineteenthcentury
hoax Demoniality or Incubi and Succubi, supposedly by
one Fr. L. M. Sinistari of Ameno, first translated and published
by the bibliophile Isidore Liseux in Paris in 1879. It was later
translated into English by Montague Summers (Fortune Press,
London, 1927; reprinted B. Blom, New York, 1972).
In the early nineteenth century the issue of the incubus
succubus, which had been dismissed by many as outdated superstition
was raised again by the emerging science of psychoanalysis.
Possibly the most important discussion is that of Ernest
Jones, a Freudian psychoanalyst in his famous treatise On
the Nightmare (1951).
