Magic and Medieval Society presents a thematic approach to the
topic of magic and sorcery in Western Europe between the eleventh
and the fifteenth century. It aims to provide readers with the
conceptual and documentary tools to reach informed conclusions as
to the existence, nature, importance and uses of magic in medieval
society. Contrary to some previous approaches, the authors argue
that magic is inextricably connected to other areas of cultural
practice and was found across medieval society. Therefore, the book
is arranged thematically, covering topics such as the use of magic
at medieval courts, at universities and within the medieval Church
itself. Each chapter and theme is supported by additional
documents, diagrams and images to allow readers to examine the
evidence side-by-side with the discussions in the chapters and to
come to informed conclusions on the issues. This book puts forward
the argument that the witch craze was not a medieval phenomenon but
rather the product of the Renaissance and the Reformation, and
demonstrates how the components for the early-modern prosecution of
witches were put into place. This new Seminar Study is supported by
a comprehensive documents section, chronology, who's who and
black-and-white plate section. It offers a concise and
thought-provoking introduction for students of medieval history.
