Explores how bodies of knowledge developed, concerning folkloric
beliefs, magic, sorcery, and witchcraft from the 12th -18th century
which allows students to see how culture was exchanged across
Europe leading up to the witch-trials of the 17th century and
offers an explanation of why the witch-hunts and trials became so
prevalent due to a strong belief in the existence of witchcraft in
the popular conscious. The collection looks at a range of sources
which crossed the religions, political and linguistic boundaries
such as objects, legal documents, letters, art, literature, the
oral tradition and pamphlets providing students with a range of
case studies to deepen their understanding of the period and to
inform their own research. Includes examples from across Europe
from England to Italy, Norway to France and the Netherlands to
Spain. Allowing students to see how these cultural exchanges
crossed geographical boundaries to form a collective phenomenon.
