Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt Rosenthal Bernard
This book represents the first comprehensive record of all legal documents pertaining to the Salem witch trials, in chronological order. The book may be used as a reference book or read as an unfolding narrative. Numerous newly discovered manuscripts, as well as records published in earlier books that were overlooked in other editions, offer a comprehensive narrative account of the events of 1692-93, with supplementary materials stretching as far as the mid - 18th century.
Included in this edition is a historical introduction, a legal introduction, and a linguistic introduction. All legal records are newly transcribed, and errors in previous editions have been corrected. Manuscripts are accompanied by notes that, in many cases, identify the person who wrote the record.
