Bookplan/Paul Hamlyn, London, 1965. Second Impression. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/No Dust Jacket. 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. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 571 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Slight foxing front/rear pages, but body of book mostly clean and unfoxed; pages browned with age. Gilt titles spine. illustrated by b/w. drawings & photo's.. Includes bibliographies. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Magic, Paranormal & Occult; Witchcraft; Wicca; History; Reference. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 4228. .

Description:
London, Bookplan 1965 2ND imp. 10 x 6.5 inches. In maroon cloth covers with gilt to spine, WITH ORIGINAL DUSTWRAPPER In very good condition with very good dustwrapper. (d/w. Slightly rubbed around edges with a few small tears. Not Price clipped. With protective plastic wrap). Mild foxing to edges. Else a clean and tight copy. 571pp. Many B&W illustrations within text, some full-paged. The author discusses the traditional image of the Witch in fiction, and the more serious idea of Witchcraft as a Christian Heresy which was seen as a threat to Society and the Church. The main period covered is from the beginnings in the 15th century to its ending in the 18th. There is a clear distinction made between Witchcraft, Satanism and Sorcery. Many accounts from historical records of the persecution of individuals, especially old women, and groups.
