Plopped into the middle of a chapter on witchcraft, possession, etc: An account of convulsing bodies! Hi Foucault! *waves* (I don't have my hard copy handy to check whether these are the same Ursulines, but at minimum they're in the same family.) It's always fun to see his materials show up in sober history.

This is, I think, the third or fourth time Eire has introduced Karlstadt. It's a habit with secondary characters. I wonder if other readers also find that distracting. In fairness, I'd never heard of him before picking up the book, so his name probably bears repeating.
