Glanyil, Joseph: (1636-1680) An English philosopher who wrote several works dealing with occult affairs, was born at Plymouth, and became a Church of England clergyman with charges at Frome Selwood and Streat and Walton. In 1666 he was appointed to the Abbey Church, Bath, was made a prebendary of Worcester Cathedral, and was chaplain in ordinary to Charles II. from 1672. In his scepsis Scientifica (1665) his Sorcerers and Sorcery (1666) and his Sadducismus Triumphatus (printed 1681) he undertook the defence of the belief in the supernatural, and supplied many illustrations in support of his theory.
