That “elf-shot” thing is interesting - I will look out for whether Mannhardt mentions it. Don’t feel rushed on the books - I know what it is like to have a backlog to get through!
If you want to get more of the Old English context for "elf-shot" as an ailment, Stephen Pollington's Leechcraft is excellent. I'm not sure if he covers anything comparative in German.
