5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional book on witchcraft and demonology...., July 8, 2000
This review is from: Witches, Devils, and Doctors in the Renaissance: Johann Weyer, De Praestigiis Daemonum (Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies) (Hardcover)
While other works (Malleus Maleficarum, Demonolatry, Daemonologie, Compendium Maleficarum, Saducismus Triumphatus, ect.) dealing with the subject on witchcraft and demonology, taught that the individuals were, "Servants of Satan." Johann Weyer reported that many of these individuals were mentally disturbed as well as having an illness. Weyer believed in demons and hell, however, did not believe that every person accused of witchcraft was in league with the devil. A very important book on the reality witchcraft and demonology. A must read for any occultist, historian, and layman.
