A classic look at witchcraft belief
Oh, how young kings often did things they would later wish to disassociate themselves with. This is another shining example of medieval misogyny at its finest, but at the same time, it is also an important tool for the witchcraft historian to help them understand the patterns of thought concerning sorcery and witchcraft at the time. Whilst this book, much like the Malleus, offers up some advice in the detection and persecution of witches that to out modern, 21st century eyes undoubtedly seems strange, unbelievable or just plain insane, it was taken very seriously at the time and does a lot to help us understand how witch persecution evolved in Europe over the centuries.I thought this was a good printing, with a nice cover and perfectly legible print. It was worth the money to buy it in paper format.

Not translated into Modern English
My bad, for not realizing that up front. The book arrived fine and in perfectly good shape - nothing wrong at all. Slogging through 16th century Old English is a bit of a chore, but it can be done I suppose. It seemed to help to read fast for some reason, although a number of words from that time can be real head scratchers.

Confused but giving it the benefit of the doubt
Right off the bat just going to say you get what you pay for. there are only 4 pictures and they are quite pixelated. I haven’t read it yet so I’m not exactly sure if all these spelling errors are intentional or not. I will edit this review after I read it some.
