Demonology and Witch-Hunting in Early Modern Europe

Beschreibung

Demonology â the intellectual study of demons and their powers â contributed to the prosecution of thousands of witches. With recent scholarship having abandoned the link between the two fields, this volume reconnects our understandings of demonology and witch-hunting.
