This volume provides a valuable introduction to the key concepts of
witchcraft and demonology through a detailed study of one of the
best known and most notorious episodes of Scottish history, the
North Berwick witch hunt, in which King James was involved as
alleged victim, interrogator, judge and demonologist. It provides
hitherto unpublished and inaccessible material from the legal
documentation of the trials in a way that makes the material fully
comprehensible, as well as full texts of the pamphlet News from
Scotland and James' Demonology, all in a readable, modernised,
scholarly form. Full introductory sections and supporting notes
provide information about the contexts needed to understand the
texts: court politics, social history and culture, religious
changes, law and the workings of the court, and the history of
witchcraft prosecutions in Scotland before 1590. The book also
brings to bear on this material current scholarship on the history
of European witchcraft.
