Cautio Criminalis, or a Book on Witch Trials

Authors: Friedrich Spee Von Lagenfeld, Friedrich Spee Von Langenfeld, Friedrich Von Spee, and Marcus Hellyer
Amazon base price: $49.50
Average review score:

Humanitarian classic made available in English
The Cautio Criminalis is a classic in the literature on witchcraft. It is both intensely logical and passionately involved with correcting the injustices of the witch trials. Marcus Hellyer has produced a highly readable translation which transmits both the clarity and the passion of the original. He has also included an introduction on the work which reflects the current state of historical knowledge. This book belongs to the classics of the struggle for human rights; it ranks with Johann Weyer and Beccaria. Hellyer also indicates, at the end of the introduction, that this is not only a historical question; where crimes that we consider heinous are concerned, we are only too ready to abridge the rights of the accused. The appearance of this book is more than welcome.
