Abstract

The article explores how a ballad describing an auto de fe, or act of faith, that was part of a religious procession possibly designed to mimic the Last Judgement, spooked the Spanish Inquisition in Logroño, Spain. It informs about the pamphlet and ballad format published by the printer Juan de Mongastón Fox describing the evil deeds of the Basque witches at the sabbat. Also noted is the hostility of the Spanish Inquisition's supreme council to the printed verses of the ballad.

Author

Machielsen, Jan

Subjects
*WITCH hunting, *PERSECUTION, *POISONING, *CRIMES against children
Abstract

The article describes the discovery of a previously unknown witch-hunt document and its implications for understanding witch-hunting in early modern France. It mentions that the document, dating back to 1582, is an official decree responding to a petition from four parishes in southwest France, claiming that witches were seducing and poisoning children, and suggests that previous estimates of witchcraft trials and executions in France may be too low due to archival losses and unknown cases.
