Daemonologie: In Modern English by King James VI, King James I
4.0
Fascinating insight into C16 mindset about witchcraft
Puts the original into modern English spelling rather than language, which does makes it easier to read than the original, although I must admit I was hoping for a simpler translation. This does however make a 16th century text far more accessible, and the insight into the mindset about witchcraft and cunning folk at that time is fascinating.
