SWEET!
For all of my re-enacting friends I have great news. I have a lead on zombies in the 18th century. Okay, they called it the walking dead, not zombie... but same thing!
I
AM
SO
EXCITED!
Update: I have documentation that they called them "Zombys" in 1697.
"Auteur(s) : Blessebois, Pierre-Corneille (1646-1700?). Auteur du texte
Titre(s) : Le zombi du grand Pérou, ou La comtesse de Cocagne [Texte imprimé] / (par P.-C. Blessebois)
Publication : [S.l.] : [s.n.], 1697
Description matérielle : 145 p. ; in-12
Note(s) : A la fin : "Portrait de la comtesse de Cocagne : vers irréguliers"
Titre alternatif : La comtesse de Cocagne""
Wow - a pre-1700 zombie novel. And in French even.
Appears to translate to:
Author (s): Blessebois, Pierre Corneille (1646-1700).
Title (s): "The Zombie of Major Peru", or "The Cocagne Countess" [Print] / (for PC Blessebois)
Publication: [SL]: [s.n.], 1697
Description: 145 p. ; In-12
Note (s): At the end: "Portrait of Countess de Cocagne: towards irregular"
Alternative title: "The Countess of Cocagne"
Even freakier, a search of Google Books shows that it's listed in The Encylopedia of Erotic Literature. Only you could manage to find zombie pr0n from 1697 :p
