Description
The Demonology of King James I Includes the Original Text of Daemonologie and News from Scotland Written in 1597, Demonology is a historically significant work that has been notoriously difficult to understand due to its language. Occult scholar Donald Tyson has modernized and annotated the original text, making it accessible to contemporary readers. This edition also includes the previously unknown News from Scotland, an account of the North Berwick witch trials. Tyson examines King James' obsession with witches and their alleged attempts on his life, offering a knowledgeable and sympathetic look at the details of magick and witchcraft in the Jacobean period. The book features historical woodcut illustrations and includes the original old English texts in their entirety. Demonology is a valuable reference work for understanding seventeenth-century witchcraft and the Scottish witch trials.
