These writings, by the \"Anonymous of Arras\" (believed to be the trial judge Jacques du Bois) and the intellectual Johannes Tinctor, offer valuable eyewitness perspectives on one of the very first mass trials and persecutions of alleged witches in European history. More importantly, they provide a window onto the early development of witchcraft theory and demonology in western Europe during the late medieval period--an entire generation before the infamous \u003ci\u003eWitches' Hammer\u003c\/i\u003e appeared. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for the classroom, \u003ci\u003eThe Arras Witch Treatises\u003c\/i\u003e includes a reader-friendly introduction situating the treatises and trials in their historical and intellectual contexts.
