A Calendar of Cases of Witchcraft in Scotland 1510 to 1727 is a historical book written by George F. Black. It provides a comprehensive collection of cases of witchcraft that occurred in Scotland from 1510 to 1727. The book includes detailed information about the accused witches, their alleged crimes, and the legal proceedings that followed. It also sheds light on the social and cultural context of witchcraft beliefs and practices in Scotland during this time period. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of witchcraft and the legal system in Scotland.From the beginning, the clergy became the leading persecutors of this witches. Before them and their kirk session confessions were mostly taken, and in many instances they took upon themselves to inflict torture to induce confession. An examination of the confessions made by the witches show that they are not the spontaneous utterances of the accused, but the answers to specific questions shaped into substantive confessions, so that it is impossible to distinguish what was put into the mind of those who confessed by their examining torturers from what may have been there before, the result of a common superstition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
