While the trials have attracted scholarly attention, the most substantial monograph on the subject was written nearly forty years ago and most works have focused on the ways in which interrogators shaped the pattern of prosecutions and the testimonies of defendants. Invoking the Akelarre diverts from this norm by employing more recent historiographical paradigms to analyze the contributions of the accused. Through interdisciplinary analyses of both French- and Spanish-Basque records, it argues that suspects were not passive recipients of elite demonological stereotypes but animated these received templates with their own belief and experience, from the dark exoticism of magical conjuration, liturgical cursing and theatrical misrule to the sharp pragmatism of domestic medical practice and everyday religious observance. In highlighting the range of raw materials available to the suspects, the book helps us to understand how the fiction of the witches' sabbath emerged to such prominence in contemporary mentalities, whilst also restoring some agency to the defendants and nuancing the historical thesis that stereotypical content points to interrogatorial opinion and folkloric content to the voices of the accused"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The Basque world -- The gleeful executioners -- The witch's voice -- The black winds -- The bloodletting bruja -- "Powders and poisons" -- "Man's grease" -- Hidden healers -- Familiar demons -- Milking the toad -- Jeannette's imagination -- The Akelarre -- Dancing with the devil -- Dark banquets -- "There is no sin in it" -- "Be nothing to God" -- Theophilus and the stage -- The first altar of hell -- Mass and misrule -- The malevolent mass -- De Lancre's imagination -- The cultic template. 650 0 $a Witchcraft $z Pais Vasco $z Pais Vasco $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Sabbat $z Pais Vasco $z Pais Vasco $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Witch hunting $z Pais Vasco $z Pais Vasco $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Inquisition $z Pais Vasco. $z Pais Vasco. 650 7 $a Inquisition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973796 650 7 $a Sabbat. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01102935 650 7 $a Witch hunting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747420 650 7 $a Witchcraft. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176327 651 7 $a Spain $z Pais Vasco. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01228625 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7582EB8B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
