In his wide-ranging and provocative study, Clifford Ashby, a theatre historian trained in the practical processes of play production as well as the methods of historical research, takes advantage of his understanding of technical elements to approach his ancient subject from a new perspective. In doing so he challenges many long-held views.Archaeological and written sources relating to Greek classical theatre are diverse, scattered, and discStudies Theatre Hist & CultureTheaterGreeceHistoryTo 500TheatersGreeceHistoryTo 1500TheaterProduction and directionGreeceHistoryTo 1500TheaterHistoryTheatersHistoryTheaterProduction and directionHistory792.0938792/.0938Ashby Clifford688949MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910780168503321Classical Greek theatre1234647UNINA03574oam 2200649 450 991078122780332120121024145735.01-4725-9934-91-4411-8355-81-283-12958-297866131295811-4411-2805-010.5040/9781472599346(CKB)2550000000036785(EBL)714128(OCoLC)730151823(SSID)ssj0000526619(PQKBManifestationID)12204706(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000526619(PQKBWorkID)10521692(PQKB)10625331(Au-PeEL)EBL714128(CaPaEBR)ebr10477190(CaONFJC)MIL312958(OCoLC)1196816037(UtOrBLW)bpp09257771(MiAaPQ)EBC714128(MiAaPQ)EBC6163752(EXLCZ)99255000000003678520111018d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrWitch beliefs and witch trials in the Middle Ages documents and readings /P.G.

In 1901, a rich collection of extracts from documents relating to witch beliefs and witch trials in the Middle Ages - Hexenwahns und der Hexenverfolgung in Mittelalter - was published. Most of the original documents are in Latin, with some in medieval German and French, and it has been left largely untranslated, making the material inaccessible, and neglected. This new translation of the key documents will enable students and scholars to look afresh at this crucial period in the development of attitudes towards witchcraft. Through the translated extracts we can see the beliefs and activities which had been formally condemned by ecclesiastical and secular authorities, but which had not yet become subject to widespread eradicating pogroms, start to be allied with heresy and with changing conceptions of demonic activity. The extensive introductory essay gives the reader the historical, theological, intellectual and social background and contexts of the translated documents. The translations themselves will all have introductory notes. This volume will contribute significantly to our understanding of the witchcraft phenomenon in the Middle Ages."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Trials (Witchcraft)EuropeHistoryTo 1500WitchcraftEuropeHistoryMedieval historyTrials (Witchcraft)HistoryWitchcraftHistory.133.4/3/09Maxwell-Stuart P.
