It is often noted that stories of witchcraft circulated in Greek and Latin classical texts, and that treatises dealing with witch-beliefs referenced them. Still, the role of humanistic culture and classical revival in the developing of the witch-hunts has not yet been fully researched. Marina Montesano examines Greek and Latin literature, revealing how particular features of ancient striges were carried into the Late Middle Ages, through the Renaissance and into the fifteenth century, when early Italian trials recall the myth of the strix common in ancient Latin sources and in popular memory. The final chapter also serves as a conclusion, to show how in Renaissance Italy and beyond, classical accounts of witchcraft ceased to be just stories, as they had formerly been, and were instead used to attest to the reality of witches' powers.Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic,2731-5649EuropeHistory476-1492Social historyCivilizationHistoryItalyHistoryEuropeHistoryTo 476History of Medieval EuropeSocial HistoryCultural HistoryHistory of ItalyHistory of Ancient EuropeEuropeHistory476-1492.Social history.CivilizationHistory.ItalyHistory.EuropeHistoryTo 476.History of Medieval Europe.Social History.Cultural History.History of Italy.History of Ancient Europe.940.902Montesano Marinaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut166771BOOK9910299812403321Classical Culture and Witchcraft in Medieval and Renaissance Italy2515384UNINA
