Summary: Fascinating documents
Comment: A woman is arrested for witchcraft. She is being taken to an upper-floor. She throws a ball of string out a window and uses it to get out of her predicament.

I usually find collections of primary sources boring. This is an exception. It is probably the best collection available of primary documents on witchcraft beliefs.

Highly recommended even for those not interested in history. Another proof that history is more weird than fiction could ever be.

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent source of primary texts.
Comment: This text is a must for any researcher of the European witchcraze. It contains highlights from such influential texts as the Malleus Maleficarum, a first-person account of witch accusations and torture, and various edicts from witch-hating popes. In addition, the black and white photographs of statuary, woodcuts, and paintings are very helpful.
