What Members Thought
Very good overview of the subject. Eurocentric, but this is excusable as it is a slim volume.
Very good distillations of information, particularly on xtain magic (chapter 2) and the last chapter which covers the evolution of the witch hunts and the legality of things (church and secular authority on the issue etc).
Black and white illustrations though.
Very good bibliography and index, but no maps.

An excellent textbook showing how in the Middle Ages Magic was dealt with, who did it and how was it seen in society. Also how attitudes towards it changed over time - well worth a read!
