From the reverse of the book:
 
‘This fascinating book not only demonstrates how belief in witchcraft permeated medieval life, leaving no one - from Pope to peasant - unaffected, but also outlines the repercussions of this belief that are still felt in the twentieth century.  It provides information on a wide range of occult subjects, including pacts with the devil, sacrilege, blood, the Evil Eye, the Black Mass, wax images, all supported by a rich variety of anecdotes. Also included are illustrations of fallen angels, demons, and even a Chinese sorcerer with his toad familiar.  Above all, the author offers a powerful insight into the extreme views that the ‘universal and darkly intricate cult’ of witchcraft can provoke’.
 
A good solid copy of an important volume of Summers’ work.
