About This Event

We excavate some of the spookier and more supernaturally inclined materials in our collection, including a 16th-century text by French jurist Jean Bodin, De la démonomanie des sorciers (Of the Demon-mania of the Sorcerers) from 1580. One scholar has described the text this way: "Presented as a witch-hunting manual, it identifies and describes the typical witch, the associated crimes, the subsequent legal procedures required for the prosecution of witchcraft and the punishments appropriate for the witches’ crimes."

View the live stream on the Libraries YouTube Live page.
