Description

"La strega, ovvero, degli inganni de' demoni: dialogo" by Giovanni Francesco II Pico della Mirandola is a dialogue written in 1523. The work defends the prosecution of accused witches during a period of witch hunts in Mirandola. Through conversations between a skeptic, a wise man, an inquisitor, and a confessed witch, it argues for the reality of demonic deception and witchcraft. The dialogue draws on classical literature and Christian scripture to justify the executions that had sparked public criticism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
