| Summary |
"The narrative published in the present volume not only affords a curious picture of the state of Ireland in the reign of Edward II., but it forms an interesting chapter in the history of English superstition. Witchcraft was one of the oldest and most deeply-rooted articles of the superstitious belief of the people, and seems to have existed among all nations. Among the Anglo-Saxons it was made a punishable offence both by the secular laws and by the ecclesiastical constitutions. In the Poenitential of Theodore, composed in the seventh century, various degrees of penitence are enjoined to magicians and enchanters, and those who deal in charms; to those who work people's destruction or endeavor to gain thier love by witchcraft; to those who consult diviners; to those who cause tempests; to and to several other similar offences." - taken from introduction |
