De Crimine Magiae. Resp. Joh. Reiche... [Latin]

By Christian Thomasius

Book Overview

De Crimine Magiae, a legal treatise authored by Christian Thomasius with Johannes Reiche, delves into the complexities surrounding the crime of magic as understood in the 17th century. Written in Latin, the work provides insight into the legal and philosophical debates concerning witchcraft trials and the prosecution of individuals accused of practicing magic. Thomasius, a prominent jurist and philosopher, examines the evidentiary standards, the burden of proof, and the underlying assumptions that shaped the legal response to accusations of witchcraft. This historical text offers valuable perspectives on the evolution of legal thought and the intersection of law, religion, and social beliefs during a tumultuous period in European history.
