Could have put this in the Links section but think it's too good to be overlooked there - has anyone come across the Cornell online Library of witchcraft books?

To quote from the site's front page:

The Cornell University Library Witchcraft Collection is an online selecton of titles from the Cornell University Library's extensive collection of materials on Witchcraft. The Witchcraft Collection is a rich source for students and scholars of the history of superstition and witchcraft persecution in Europe. It documents the earliest and the latest manifestations of the belief in witchcraft as well as its geographical boundaries, and elaborates this history with works on canon law, the Inquisition, torture, demonology, trial testimony, and narratives. Most importantly, the collection focuses on witchcraft not as folklore or anthropology, but as theology and as religious heresy.


Well worth a look

Oh wow Pomona!!! What a find! It's got loads of stuff on it.
Thanks

Great find. It did make me laugh though when I started to read some of the old texts about imps sucking witches, and various other 'suck' related words such as 'sucking', 'suckling', etc.

Yes it rhymes with a rude word, and unfortunately, in old-fashioned writing the 's' looks more like an 'f'

I've only read a couple of articles but GOOD FIND Pomona. At last something historical and on-line!!! (maybe it will put an end to all this popycock about witches of now being the 'sisters' of the witches of then). Lovely!
I'm going to put the link onto a T-shirt and car sticker!!
