Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - Witch hunts were not driven by chaos.They were driven by paperwork.In early modern England, persecution did not begin with mobs, hysteria, or superstition. It began with manuals-carefully written legal handbooks that taught ordinary country magistrates how to identify invisible crimes.The Devil's Checklist uncovers how English common law quietly engineered the witch hunt by transforming rumor into evidence, suspicion into procedure, and fear into official policy. As the role of the Justice of the Peace became professionalized, legal guides such as The Country Justice provided step-by-step instructions for investigating witchcraft-standardizing confessions, bodily searches, child testimony, and 'spectral' proof.What emerged was not religious frenzy, but an efficient administrative system.A checklist.Drawing on trial records, legal manuals, and landmark cases such as Pendle and Lancaster, this book reveals how bureaucracy-not belief-built the machinery of persecution. Long before modern surveillance states, early English law perfected a method for documenting the unseen.This is not a book about superstition.It is a book about systems.Perfect for readers of legal history, witch trial scholarship, true crime, and the dark origins of state power, The Devil's Checklist exposes how professional procedure outlived the pyre-and why its logic still echoes today.…
