This book offers a comparison of lay and inquisitorial witchcraft prosecutions. In most of the early modern period, witchcraft jurisdiction in Italy rested with the Roman Inquisition, whereas in Denmark only the secular courts raised trials. Kallestrup explores the narratives of witchcraft as they were laid forward by people involved in the trials.

Louise Nyholm Kallestrup is Associate Professor in Early Modern Cultural History at University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark. She has published widely on Italian and Danish witchcraft.
