The scarce first edition.

This work is considered as the best we have on Witchcraft.
Bodin believes in pacts with demons, in the remembrance of the dead and carnal copulation with devils. He also has, for his personal account, a familiar spirit that does not leave him, to advise him in all circumstances of life.
While at the religious point of view, Bodin was very tolerant, he is much harder with witches. Since in his refutation of the opinions of John Wier who claimed that sorcerers are more often sick or crazy and that they should not burn, Bodin expresses the desire to raise hundreds of wizards and witches for burning them itself.
