Quotes:Thyraeus, Petrus

Zirkoff, Boris

Thyraeus, Petrus (1546-1601). Also P. Thyrée, and Thiresus de Nuys. No definite information available, except that A. J. Caillet (Manuel Bibliogr. des Sciences Psychiques ou Occultes. Paris: Lucien Dorbon, 1912) mentions him as being a Jesuit of the Diocese of Cologne. He seems to have been a brother of Hermann Thyräus (1532-91), noted German Jesuit writer. The work attributed to P. Thyraeus is *Loca infesta, hoc est de infestis ob molestantus daemoniorum et defunctorum hominum Spiritus locis . . . Coloniae Agrippinae: ex officina Mater Cholini, 1598. 4to. Also Lugduni: Pillehotte, 1599. 4to., and 1625. 8vo. In the British Museum holdings.
