I know that Dom Augustin Calmet's 1746 Treatise "Traite sur les Revants en Corps, les Excommunes, les Oupires ou Vampires, Broucolaques de Hongrie, de Moravie, etc" is now available in English by the title "The Phantom World"; and, "Visum et Repertum" by Johann Flickinger, is contained within Montague Summers' "The Vampire in Europe". BUT where might one obtain any of the following works, either in English or the original language?
DE MASTICATIONE MORTUORUM IN TUMULIS, 1728, by Michael Ranft
DISSERTATIO HISTORICA-PHILOSOPHICA DE MASTICATIONE MORTUORUM, 1679, by Philip Rohr
DISSERTATIO DE VAMPIRIS SERVIENSIBUS, 1733, by Johannes Heinrich Zopfius
DISSERTATIONE SOPRA I VAMPIRI, 1744, by Archbishop Giuseppe Davanzati
DE SERVORUM DEI BENEDICTIONE ET DE BEATORUM CANONIZATIONE, Book IV - 2nd Volume, 1749, by Pope Benedict XIV, Prospero Lambertini
And, in addition to these, didn't King James I of England also write a treatise on vampires as well, and if so, what is its title and how might it also be acquired?
Thanking you in advance, Memphremagog.

Your best resource would be the British Library (London, England) and the Bodleian Library (Oxford University, England). Montague Summers used the latter extensively.
King James discussed vampires, which existence he did not doubt, in his treatise "Demonologie" (1597). He recognised that such entities as vampires are best identified as predatory, blood-sucking demons.
