Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the shadowy world of medieval sorcery, presenting a fascinating and detailed account of the beliefs and practices surrounding witchcraft in Europe during the 12th to 14th centuries. The author skillfully weaves together historical accounts, legal documents, and folklore to create a vivid picture of a time when belief in supernatural forces permeated every aspect of society. The book explores the different forms of sorcery, from the activities of the "witch" - an ignorant pawn of the devil - to the more learned practitioners of magic, who sought knowledge and power through dangerous pacts with demonic forces. We are introduced to a cast of characters, both real and legendary, who embody the anxieties and superstitions of the age, including the notorious Lady Alice Kyteler, a wealthy Irish woman accused of witchcraft, and her alleged accomplices. The author examines how the fear of sorcery was intertwined with political and religious agendas, providing insights into the often-violent persecution of those accused of witchcraft. The book also reveals the social and cultural anxieties that fueled these fears, from the desperation of the downtrodden to the machinations of ambitious church officials. Through a captivating exploration of historical accounts and literary sources, this book sheds light on the profound impact of superstition and the belief in sorcery on medieval life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
