Witchcraft History & the Trials
Primary sources from the witch trials, early demonologies, and the historians who took them apart.
A note on this collection. These are largely prosecution-era documents: accusations, confessions taken under duress, and demonologies written to justify them. They record what was done to people accused of witchcraft, and are not instructional or practitioner texts.
