This is a unique study of the phenomenon of witchcraft, its formation and development in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The author scrupulously studies ancient and medieval sources, and also analyzes the perceptions of witches, changing throughout the V-XV centuries. What was the concept of witchcraft in the mind of medieval man? What influence did pagan beliefs have on the formation of the image of the witch? How did the Christian religion contribute to the demonization of folk witchcraft and at the same time promote its spread? What started the witch hunts and why were the trials of accused women filled with such brutality? What social and religious changes in medieval society became the starting point for the development of the phenomenon of witchcraft? The reader will find answers to these and many other questions in this edition.
