This book looks at explanations of the black arts as they existed
during early medieval centuries in Western Europe. It objectively
examines the historical development of magic and witchcraft and
emphasizes the reality of these black arts. Stressing the
historiographical significance of the modern literature of the
occult, this book provides a solid display of the leading role of
rationalism in modern literature. The author employs studies in
anthropology and examinations of writings of medieval
encyclopedists, code of pagan law, and the Church Fathers from the
fourth to the eighth centuries. By remaining objective and
employing such historiographical and theological details to his
work, Duke creates a high quality and unique study which supports
refutations of rationalist historians who see middle-age witchcraft
as a delusion. His book will appeal to students and scholars of
medieval history, as well as anyone interested in the black arts.
