When historian Diana Bishop opens an alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, it's an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordered life. Though Diana is a witch of impeccable lineage, the violent death of her parents while she was still a child convinced her that human fear is more potent than any witchcraft. Now Diana has unwittingly exposed herself to a world she's kept at bay for years; one of powerful witches, creative, destructive daemons and long-lived vampires. Sensing the significance of Diana's discovery, the creatures gather in Oxford, among them the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire geneticist. Diana is inexplicably drawn to Matthew and, in a shadowy world of half-truths and old enmities, ties herself to him without fully understanding the ancient line they are crossing.

In 1665 an anonymous treatise was added to a book skeptical of witchcraft. That book, "The Discoverie of Witchcraft", compiled by Reginald Scot and published in 1584, defended those accused of witchcraft. It also included so many examples of rituals and charms that it became popular with magical practitioners themselves. "The Magitians Discovered" Volume 2 consists of the anonymous material, along with sections from Scot's original "Discoverie" dealing with ritual magic. talismans. and amulets. This is supplemented by excerpts from two works believed to be written and translated by one of the authors of the anonymous material

'The fables of witchcraft have taken so fast hold and deepe root in the heart of man, that few or none can indure with patience the hand and correction of God.' Reginald Scot, whose words these are, published his remarkable book The Discoverie of Witchcraft in 1584. England's first major work of demonology, witchcraft and the occult, the book was unashamedly sceptical. It is said that so outraged was King James VI of Scotland by the disbelieving nature of Scot's work that, on James' accession to the English throne in 1603, he ordered every copy to be destroyed. Yet for all the anger directed at Scot, and his scorn for Stuart orthodoxy about wiches, the paradox was that his detailed account of sorcery helped strengthen the hold of European demonologies in England while also inspiring the distinctively English tradition of secular magic and conjuring. Scot's influence was considerable. Shakespeare drew on The Discoverie of Witchcraft for his depiction of the witches in Macbeth. So too did fellow-playwright Thomas Middleton in his tragi-comedy The Witch. Recognising Scot's central importance in the history of ideas, Philip Almond places his subject in the febrile context of his age, examines the chief themes of his work and shows why his writings became a sourcebook for aspiring magicians and conjurors for several hundred years. England's First Demonologist makes a notable contribution to a fascinating but unjustly neglected topic in the study of Early Modern England and European intellectual history.

In "A Treatise of Witchcraft," Alexander Roberts explores the intricate relationship between superstition and societal norms during a time marked by the fear of the supernatural. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, Roberts provides a critical examination of witchcraft through historical context, legal documents, and personal anecdotes, effectively weaving together a narrative that challenges prevalent beliefs of his era. The treatise delves into the moral and ethical implications of witch-hunting, unveiling not only the ramifications for accused witches but also the broader impact on communities gripped by paranoia and hysteria. Alexander Roberts, a noted figure in the 17th century, was deeply influenced by the sociopolitical upheavals of his time, which were exacerbated by religious conflicts and societal fears. His background in law and fervent interest in moral philosophy prompted him to write this treatise not merely as a critique but as a plea for reason amidst irrational fear. Roberts aimed to illuminate the dangers of scapegoating and mass hysteria, drawing on widespread empirical evidence and enlightened thought. Readers interested in the interplay between law, morality, and societal fears will find "A Treatise of Witchcraft" both enlightening and thought-provoking. It is a crucial work for understanding the genesis of modern legal and ethical standards regarding witchcraft, making it an essential read for anyone intrigued by the historical complexities of justice and human rights.
