| Zusammenfassung: | "This is the first published edition of an extraordinary manuscript on witchcraft in the collection of the British Library, written by an unknown sixteenth-century scholar. Responding to a pre-publication draft of Reginald Scot's sceptical Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), the treatise represents the most detailed defence of witchcraft belief to be written in the early modern period in England. The manuscript rejects the arguments presented in Scot's work, covering ground that may have been considered too sensitive for print publications and presenting learned arguments not found in any other contemporary English work. Rather than merely asserting the existence of witches, it highlights the scriptural and theological justifications for belief. Perhaps more importantly, it also argues for the unacceptability of disbelief. It therefore offers a unique insight into elite witchcraft belief dating from the very beginning of the English witchcraft debate. This edition presents the treatise with modernised spelling for ease of reading. It is fully annotated, with translations provided for passages in Latin, and includes a comprehensive analytical introduction that discusses the provenance, date, authorship and significance of the treatise and sets it in historical context"-- Back cover |
