Notă biografică

Augustus Montague Summers (1880-1948) was an English author and clergyman born in Bristol. Despite initially studying to work for the Church of England, Summers converted to Catholicism and worked as a teacher of English and Latin. He's well-known for his studies of the supernatural, and his most notable works are History of Witchcraft and Demonology, 1926, and his 1928 translation of the 15th century manual for witch hunters, the Malleus Maleficarum.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The Reverend Montague Summers was a Roman Catholic priest. However, his views on witchcraft and demonology differed considerably from those of Catholic encyclopedists and spokesmen of today. He is not ashamed of the greatest excesses committed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. On the contrary, he vigorously defends everything the Church ever did to extirpate witchcraft and heresy.

"The History of Witchcraft" is one of the classic works on witchcraft and demonology. Unlike other writers on the subject, Dr. Summers firmly believed in the concept world of Satanism and described its nefarious nature with tremendous gusto.

This book was written from what critics have called a medieval viewpoint, an absolute and complete belief in witchcraft and, hence, in the supernatural. Among the subjects covered by Dr. Summers are: The Witch; Heretic and Anarchist; Demons and Familiars; the Sabbat; the Witch in Holy Writ; Diabolic Possession and Modern Spiritism; and the Witch in Dramatic Literature.
