Studies in medieval and Reformation traditions ; v. 135.
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Honour and social control in witchcraft trials -- Fluid self -- Magic and the body -- Healing as counter-magic -- Ambiguity of magic.

This book demonstrates that the endurance of magical practices, both benevolent and malevolent, was grounded in early modern perceptions of an interconnected body, self and spiritual cosmos.
