Witches from Varboys: Chronicles of the trial

The book was written in hot pursuit of the 1593 trial of two women accused of witchcraft, and is designed to convince contemporaries of justice of charges. This is a detailed report on the so -called “Barboy Witches" case”, starting with the first suspicions caused by the whim of a nine -year -old girl, and ending with execution through hanging. The details and accuracy of the description of the symptoms for many years turned this book into a textbook on imitation of obsession. This publication is equipped with an extensive commentary and afterword of the translator. The author offers the reader a detailed story about the prerequisites and consequences of “witch hunting”, about other significant processes of that time, about “noble” authors of slander and his unfortunate victims.
