Witchcraft - Lot 254
Witchcraft [SPEE (Friedrich, von)] Advis to the Criminalists on the Abuses which creep into the Trials of Witchcraft. Lyon, Prost, 1660. In-8 : 23f., 336pp. Tear with missing edge on title page, clear ring in outer margin at beginning of volume. Soft antique speckled vellum, red title on spine. Rare translation of the Cautio criminalis by F. Boudot who had assisted several times convicts for alleged crimes of witchcraft, when they were sentenced to death, and who was struck by the abuses that were committed in the accusations and procedures of this kind. This rare work had a great impact in the 18th century and supported the reform movement that led to the edict of July 1682 (Guaita 2208 - Caillet 10296).
