Fixtures of village life, they identified thieves and witches, read palms, and cast horoscopes. Jason Philip Coy brings their world to life by examining theological discourse alongside archival records of prosecution for popular divination in Thuringia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDivination was a major category of magical activity, both at the elite level but more importantly here at the popular level.

A major contribution to the topic of European disenchantment.","brand":"MP-VIR Uni of Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49958525043031,"sku":"9780813944074","price":28.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780813944074.jpg?v=1738994218","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-devils-art-divination-and-discipline-in-early-modern-germany-9780813944074","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
