Die Geschichte Der Hexenverfolgungen In Europa
A compact, chronological account of the rise, peak, and decline of witch persecutions in early modern Europe, examining social, religious, and legal causes behind accusations and trials; it surveys regional differences in scale and method, the role of gender and community tensions, common judicial procedures and torture, and explains how changing legal standards, intellectual shifts and state formation contributed to the eventual waning of the witch-hunt phenomenon.
