BOOK SYNOPSIS
When Leonard Pitt first caught a glimpse of Valentine Greatrakes, it was in a footnote in a history of science: “seventeenth-century Irish Healer” was all it said. Little did Pitt imagine that this accidental distraction would provide fodder for such a long adventure. Renowned for his healing powers, Greatrakes stood at the center of one of the great controversies of his age involving scientists, theologians, physicians, and philosophers. Many proclaimed his cures a miracle. Others denounced him as a quack.
