Book synopsis

Shows the Malleus, a very well known and widely quoted medieval text, to be highly idiosyncratic, and unusual in its ideas, even among the texts of other contemporary witch-theorists. The first book to deal with the discourse of witchcraft among fifteenth-century theorists in its full complexity. Attempts to understand witchcraft as part of the Malleus' authors' wider intellectual world. Shows how contemporary scholars engaged in a lively debate over the nature of witchcraft. A further addition to MUP's highly regarded collection of books on witchcraft.
