Great Historical Perspective on the Ascent of Witchcraft as Understood by the Church.

In this work the author gives detailed evidence for the ascent of Witchcraft set out in his previous volume The History of Witchcraft and Demonology. The epidemic that occurred is treated as it appeared in various countries. Comprehensive chapters deal with Greece, Rome, England, Scotland, New England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. An excellent resource for understanding how witch mania spread through Europe as it did.
