As such, it affords scholars an invaluable opportunity to explore this intriguing historical phenomenon from a variety of perspectives. Included are many rare and fragile manuscripts containing eyewitness accounts and court records of the trials of witches, including harrowing original manuscript depositions taken from the victims in the torture chamber. These documents, in both original manuscripts and in print, reveal the harsh outcome of the more remote doctrinal disputes. Perhaps the most significant of all manuscripts in the Witchcraft collection are the minutes of the witchcraft trial of Dietrich Flade, a sixteenth-century city judge and rector who spoke out against the cruelty and injustice of the persecutions in the 1580s. The pronouncements of advocates of witch persecution -- Binsfeld, Boguet, Del Rio, Remi -- can be compared and contrasted to the courageous warnings of Bekker, LoÌher, Loos, Scot, Spee -- men who doubted the validity of witch believers and witch trials. Also, numerous dissertations and limited printed works examining theological, legal, social implications of witchcraft are reproduced in their entirety. However, this collection unlocks much more than the world witchcraft alone; spanning the 15th to 20th centuries, it also enables researchers to trace the history and culture of European civilization during the Renaissance and Enlightenment. The majority of texts are in Latin, English and German, although there are also selected items in French, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Dutch and Spanish. 546 $a The majority of the texts are in Latin, English and German, with some selected items in French, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Dutch and Spanish. 533 $a Electronic reproduction. $b Farmington Hills, Mich. : $c Gale, $d 2010. $n Access limited by licensing agreements. $n Access limited by licensing agreements. 650 0 $a Witchcraft $z Europe $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113546 650 0 $a Witchcraft $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Witchcraft $v Early works to 1800. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113545 650 0 $a Witchcraft $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113547 650 0 $a Demonology $v Early works to 1800. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102189 650 0 $a Trials (Witchcraft) $z Salem. $z Salem. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117103 650 0 $a Trials (Witchcraft) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85137403 830 0 $a Archives unbound. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2011147263 856 40 $u http://purl.lib.uiowa.edu/gale/Witchcraft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E6FFAD0E6E611E7A3BFBD0A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
