Book Chapter
Inside the labyrinth of spells
2022
Overview
In 1563, Wier published his De praestigiis daemonum. The premises and evolution of this work is analysed in this chapter, from Wier's choice to publish in Basel to the various editions that followed, which contained significant revisions. For the first time, providing explanations based on a variety of aspects, Wier defined actions that were considered to be witchcraft as demonic tricks, and not as reality. In this early phase, he debated on what punishment should be imposed on witches with the prominent theologian Johann Brenz. The French and German translations of his work attest to the positive reception Wier's thought received.
