"This is the first complete and accessible English translation of two major source textsůTinctorĆs Invectives and the anonymous Recollectioůthat arose from the notorious Arras witch hunts and trials in the mid-fifteenth century in France. These writings, by the ôAnonymous of Arrasö (believed to be the trial judge Jacques du Bois) and the intellectual Johannes Tinctor, offer valuable eyewitness perspectives on one of the very first mass trials and persecutions of alleged witches in European history. More importantly, they provide a window onto the early development of witchcraft theory and demonology in western Europe during the late medieval periodůan entire generation before the infamous WitchesĆ Hammer appeared. Perfect for the classroom, The Arras Witch Treatises includes a reader-friendly introduction situating the treatises and trials in their historical and intellectual contexts. Scholars, students, and others interested in the occult will find these translations invaluable.
