5.0 out of 5 stars Witchcraft in France and Switzerland, February 15, 2001

This review is from: Witchcraft in France and Switzerland: The Borderlands during the Reformation (Hardcover)

This book is phenominal! In a catagory of study where there is so much false information circulating, Monter stays close to the facts. The Jura Region discussed by Monter, is the area between modern day France and Switzerland. This area is also one of the earliest (not to mention most heated) areas of witch trial concentration. Monter gives a very localized and thorough discription of the trials in this area, as well as a very well supported argument on the reasons why this area is so fertile for witchcraft accusations. A must have for anyone who is interested in witch trials.

Wonderful and informative book for a paper on witchcraft in the 16th century. It helped a lot with my paper. I highly recommend it. Wasn't easy to find but was sent to me quickly as I needed it right away!
