In the darkest hours of the 17th century German witch hunts, Spee,
a Jesuit priest, meditated on the confessions of accused women and
resolved to subject the church's torture practices to a rigorous
logical analysis. The result is a cogent and persuasive argument
against all torture, and a demonstration of the overarching power
of the human spirit in a time of trial. This book combines poetic
meditations on Spee's uniquely compassionate essays with starkly
lit photographs (from a state collection in Toledo, Spain) of many
of the torture instruments used by church functionaries.
