A Brief History of Witchcraft Persecutions Before Salem
Brief, illustrated descriptions of historical events involving early witchcraft persecution, such as arguments by St. Augustine that witchcraft is an impossibility (c. 420), Thomas Aquinas' arguments "that demons exist that try to lead people into temptation" (1273), and Pope Innocent VIII and "Malleus Maleficarum" ("Hammer of Witches," 1484). Part of a larger project on the Salem Witch Trials, by a law professor at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, School of Law.
