About this book

Drawing on the graphic and revealing evidence recorded by the different courts in early modern Saragossa, this book captures the spirit of an age when religious faith vied for people's hearts and minds with centuries-old beliefs in witchcraft and superstition.

Reviews

“Maria Tausiet has greatly enhanced our understanding of witchcraft and the urban environment in early modern Spain. She makes excellent use of Inquisition records to explore the relationship between religion and magic in Saragossa, throwing invaluable light on mentalities there.” (Christopher Storrs, History - Journal of the Historical Association, December, 2015)
