This is the first published edition of a fascinating manuscript on
witchcraft in the collection of the British Library, written by an
unknown sixteenth-century scholar. Responding to a pre-publication
draft of Reginald Scot's sceptical Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584),
the treatise represents the most detailed defence of witchcraft
belief to be written in the early modern period in England. It
highlights in detail the scriptural and theological justifications
for a belief in witches, covering ground that may well have been
considered too sensitive for print publications and presenting
learned arguments not found in any other contemporary English work.
Consequently, it offers a unique insight into elite witchcraft
belief dating from the very beginning of the English witchcraft
debate. This edition, which includes a comprehensive analytical
introduction, presents the treatise with modernised spelling and
relevant excerpts from Scot's book. -- .
