USA: Meridian/New American Library, 1977. Paperback. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Good Condition. Eight illustrative plates with Notes on each - very striking. Cover illustration of Waldesians adoring the devil in the form of a she-goat. Clean and bright pictorial wrappers, edgeworn but not heavily, spine creases; binding tight and square, all pages intact. Pages clean, moderately toned, some lines along text, a few words underlined. a few scattered notes in margins, text very clear. The author demonstrates that the notorious, massive witch-hunts of the 16th and 17th centuries were not an aberration, but a continuation of a powerful historic current. He examines the striking similarity of accusations leveled against objects of society's wrath throughout history, be they primitive Christians, Waldensian dissenters, the Knights Templar, or so-called witches. This study brings understanding to some of the worst horrors of history, but also a recognition of a danger that is far from dead. xviii, 304 pages with Editorial Foreword, Preface, Note on the Illustrations, Postscript: Psycho-historical speculations, Bibliographical Notes, and Index. 5.25 x 8. 1977, Meridian/New American Library, USA
