More about the book

Focusing on the North Berwick witch hunt, this volume explores key concepts of witchcraft and demonology through the lens of King James's multifaceted role in the trials. It presents previously unpublished legal documents alongside accessible versions of historical texts, including "News from Scotland" and "Demonology." Comprehensive introductory sections and notes contextualize the material within Scottish court politics, social history, and the evolution of witchcraft prosecutions before 1590, while integrating contemporary scholarship on European witchcraft history.
