Review by dj_swinger for The Witchcraft Sourcebook
Rating:
If you are considering Levack’s Sourcebook, then chances are you already know something about witchcraft. This collection of documents ranges from classical antiquity to the twentieth century, although most documents fall in the early modern period and the great age of witch hunts. The documents are well chosen and edited. This is good stuff, and Levack hits the highlights such as the Canon Episcopi, Nider, Kramer, Weyer and Spee. If those names mean something to you, then I would highly recommend this book, as it is an excellent collection of relevant documents. If they don’t, then you might want to start somewhere else that would put these things in more context (although he does have a small introduction to each document in the book).
