-HISTORY BOOK REVIEW
The witch-craze that swept through Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries cost the lives of over 100,000 people, and sorcerers in many parts
of the world today are still feared for their magic powers. Yet despite the importance
of such a remarkable and widespread feature of human experience, there has been
little critical study of witchcraft in all its varied historical, anthropological and
religious manifestations. In this lucid and thought-provoking book, Professor Russell
provides the comprehensive account that has long been needed.
Drawing fruitful comparisons between modern sorcery and that of the ancient world
the book shows how the European witch-craze developed out of a combination of
ancient sorcery with medieval Christian heresy (Catharism, Waldensianism),
paganism, folklore, scholastic theology and inquisitorial trials. Whether
the diabolical witchcraft that men and women went to the stake for ever
existed is open to question. What matters more is that it was
believed to exist - by intellectuals and peasants alike.
-Jeffrey B. Russell is Professor of History at the
University of California, Santa Barbara.
