Synopsis

Described as an extraordinary document and among the most significant manuals ever compiled on witchcraft, this collection offers a revealing view of early seventeenth-century thinking and the ways society sought to confront what it perceived as sorcery. Guazzo’s writings set out to examine witchcraft as a practice and profession, with a comprehensive and searching approach.

The text includes discussions of witches’ powers, poisons and crimes, and considers the subject through the lens of mind, body and spirit.
