Ukrainian Witchcraft Trials - Volhynia, Podolia and Ruthenia, 17th and 18th Centuries (Hardcover)

The ideological background of the tribunals is studied on the basis
of works written by priests and theologians, reflecting the
attitude of spiritual authorities towards the devil and witches.
The main focus of work, however, is the process of shaping
witchcraft accusations. Narratives of the participants of the
trials tell stories of bewitchment and help shed light on the
situation that led people to state their suspicions and later their
accusations of witchcraft. Finally, the micro-history approach is
used to study a case from one Volhynian village which helps to
compare attitude towards two "female crimes" in Ukrainian courts
and to better understand the nature of popular witchcraft beliefs
in early modern Ukraine.
