Book Overview

A Dialogue Concerning Witches And Witchcrafts is a book written by George Gifford and first published in 1593. The book is a dialogue between two characters, Philomathes and Epistemon, discussing the existence of witches and the practice of witchcraft. The conversation covers a range of topics, including the nature of witches, their powers, and the methods used to detect and punish them. Gifford draws on a variety of sources, including the Bible, classical literature, and contemporary accounts of witch trials, to argue that witches are real and pose a serious threat to society. The book also provides an insight into the beliefs and fears of people in the late 16th century regarding witchcraft. This edition of the book was published in 1842 and includes an introduction by the editor, who provides historical context and analysis of the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
