    Shortly after the death of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862–1929), the doyen of early twentieth century German para psychology, his former colleague in hypnotism and sexology Albert Moll (1862–1939) published a treatise on the psychology and pathology of parapsychologists, with Schrenck-Notzing serving as a prototype of a scientist suffering from an ‘occult complex’. Moll’s analysis concluded that parapsychologists vouching for the reality of supernormal phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and materialisations, suffered from a morbid will to believe, which paralysed their critical faculties and made them cover obvious mediumistic fraud. Using Moll’s treatment of Schrenck-Notzing as an historical case study of boundary disputes in science and medicine, this essay traces the career of Schrenck-Notzing as a researcher in hypnotism, sexology and parapsychology; discusses the relationship between Moll and Schrenck-Notzing; and problematises the pathologisation and defamation strategies of deviant epistemologies by authors such as Moll

    Le classement que L’Estoile fait de sa « librairie » à la fin de sa vie procède d’une pratique minutieuse, dont rendent compte les innombrables notes laissées par le bibliophile. Des gestes quotidiens aux visites chez les libraires, de la fréquentation des bibliothèques aux échanges de livres entre curieux, du travail des secrétaires aux visites d’hôtes lettrés, la cotation du fonds offre un tableau exceptionnellement riche d’activités et d’échanges lettrés. Elle ouvre également une large fenêtre sur les réactions intimes du collectionneur en face de sa bibliothèque et renseigne sur des réseaux de sociabilité solidement structurés autour de valeurs littéraires communes.Through the study of personal papers, it is understood that L’Estoile meticulously classified the books in his library. This classification sheds light on the collection’s history as well as the many relationships between L’Estoile himself and his personal contacts, for example, those of book dealers, libraries, book collectors, scholars and friends. This study also reveals L’Estoile’s attachment to each book and informs us of his literary social networks
