Synopsis

Written as an attempt to disprove the existence of witches, this work also preserves a detailed record of the accusations levelled against them, the conduct of witch trials, and accounts of the so-called black arts. It draws on excerpts from the Inquisition, interviews with convicted witches, and discussions that range across alchemy and astrology.

Often cited as an indispensable primary source on witchcraft, it brings together a wide spread of period material in one volume. Suitable for readers with an interest in historical sources and early modern beliefs.
