Robbins, Rossell Hope The Encyclopedia Of Witchcraft And Demonology 2015 Eng Author: Robbins, Rossell Hope Publisher: Girard & Stewart Publication year: 2015 Format: Book Genre: Häxor / Folktro / Folkseder / Magi / Demonologi / Witchcraft / Dictionaries / Demonology / Lexikon Language: English Pages: 557 ISBN: 9781626540705 ISBN-10: 1626540705 Synopsis: With research sourced by the world's greatest libraries, Robbins has compiled a rational, balanced history of 300 years of horror concentrated primarily in Western Europe. Spanning from the 15th century through the 18th century, the witch-hunt frenzy marks a period of suppressed rational thought; never before have so many been so wrong. To better understand this phenomenon, Robbins examines how the meaning of "witch" has evolved and exposes the true nature of witchcraft--a topic widely discussed in popular culture, though remarkably misunderstood. First published in 1959, Robbins' encyclopedia remains the most authoritative and comprehensive body of information about witchcraft and demonology ever compiled in a single volume. Lavishly acclaimed in academic and popular reviews, this full-scale compendium of fact, history, and legend covers about every phase of this fascinating subject from its origins in the medieval times to its last eruptions in the 18th century. Accompanying the text are 250 illustrations from rare books, contemporary prints, and old manuscripts, many of which have been published here for the first time. Ros
