PROCOPIUS OF CAESAREA I
Anno Domini 542

Cardstock; 21 x 29.7 cm

Greek historian Procopius of Caesarea linked delirious hallucinations with insomnia and coma as early as AD 542. He believed that people who suffer from hallucinations are violent and hyper - excited whilst sleepwalking.

Procopius claimed that victims often experience disturbing omens and visions of a supernatural being human form who would touch them, thus passing the disease.

From a medical point of view, beside all the nonsense, his observations from AD 542 originate long-standing theories about sleep disorders which in extreme cases cause hallucinations.
