The
fifteenth to eighteenth
centuries
was a period of witchcraft prosecutions throughout Europe and modern
scholars
have now devoted a huge amount of research to these episodes. This
volume
will attempt to bring this work together by summarising the history of
the trials in a new way - according to the types of legal systems
involved.
Other topics covered will be the continued practical use made of magic,
the elaboration of demonological theories about witchcraft and magic,
and
the further development of scientific interests in natural magic
through
the 'Neoplatonic' and 'Hermetic' period. Amongst
the topics
included here are Superstition and Belief in high and popular culture,
the place of Medicine, Witchcraft survivals in art and literature, and
the survival of Persecution.
