The Sorceress; La Sorcière; Satanism and Witchcraft

The story of witchcraft from the medieval to the 17th century. An unparalleled look at the misery that medieval women faced, peasant healers, aristocratic noblewomen, and nuns and some of the ways they rebelled. This is a translation of Jules Michelet's La Sorcière, originally published in Paris in 1862. The original title of this translation was Satanism and Witchcraft, and it was later retitled Witchcraft, Sorcery and Superstition.
