The 15th to the 18th centuries saw a period of witchcraft prosecutions throughout Europe and modern scholars have devoted a huge amount of research to these episodes. This volume brings this work together by summarising the history of the period in a new way - according to the types of legal systems involved. Other topics covered are the continued practical use made of magic, the elaboration of demonological theories about witchcraft and magic, and the further development of scientific interests in natural magic through the "Neoplatonic" and "Hermetic" period. Amongst the topics included here are: superstition and belief in high and popular culture; the place of medicine; witchcraft survivals in art and literature; and the survival of persecution.
