(032146) Scot, Reginald. The Discoverie Of Witchcraft. New York: Dover Publications, 1989. Reprint. Paperback. Tall 8vo. 283 pages. Fine with no DJ. Nicely done unabridged Dover republication of the John Rodker 1930 edition.Introduction by Montaue Summers. In 1584, Reginald Scot set out to prove that witches did not and could not exist. King James later found Scot's opinion so heretical that he orded all copies of his book to be burned. But so rich and full of data on the charges against witches, on witch trials and on the actual practice of the black arts was Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft that it remained a much- used source throughout the 17th and 18th centuries and is still one of the few primary sources for the study of withcraft today ISBN: 0486260305 (Witchcraft, Demonology, Magic)
