Description
"The provision of these original sources is a gift to historians and their students, but also to modern magicians seeking working materials, and the authors' analyses also provide genuinely new insights into the nature of late medieval and early modern English magical practice." -Ronald Hutton, author of The Witch: A History of Fear, From Ancient Times to the Present
