This is the first complete and accessible English translation of
two major source texts—Tinctor’s Invectives and the anonymous
Recollectio—that arose from the notorious Arras witch hunts and
trials in the mid-fifteenth century in France. These writings, by
the “Anonymous of Arras” (believed to be the trial judge
Jacques du Bois) and the intellectual Johannes Tinctor, offer
valuable eyewitness perspectives on one of the very first mass
trials and persecutions of alleged witches in European history.
More importantly, they provide a window onto the early development
of witchcraft theory and demonology in western Europe during the
late medieval period—an entire generation before the infamous
Witches’ Hammer appeared. Perfect for the classroom, The Arras
Witch Treatises includes a reader-friendly introduction situating
the treatises and trials in their historical and intellectual
contexts. Scholars, students, and others interested in the occult
will find these translations invaluable.
