Marks of an Absolute Witch: Evidentiary Dilemmas in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780754669876 / Angielski / Twarda / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In a typical witchcraft crime there were no eyewitnesses, and since torture was not a standard measure in English criminal trials, confessions could not be easily obtained. The scarcity of...
