More about the book

Focusing on the formative years of witchcraft beliefs from 1300 to 1500, this study explores the distinction between popular and learned perceptions of witches, who were viewed as heretics and Devil worshippers by early European courts. The author introduces a unique methodology to differentiate between these concepts, allowing for critical analysis of various documents related to witchcraft. This examination sheds light on the evolving ideas surrounding witchcraft and the increasing fervor of witch-hunting during this pivotal period.
