The Basque Witch-Hunt
Author: Jan Machielsen
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135044152X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
In June 1609, two judges left Bordeaux for a territory at the very edge of their jurisdiction, a Basque-speaking province on the Atlantic coast called the Pays de Labourd. In four months, they executed up to 80 women and men for the crime of witchcraft, causing a wave of suspects to flee into Spain and sparking terror there. Witnesses, many of them children, described lurid tales of cannibalism, vampirism, and demonic sex. One of the judges, Pierre de Lancre, published a sensationalist account of this diabolical netherworld. With other accounts seemingly destroyed, this witch-hunt – France's largest – has always been seen through de Lancre's eyes. The narrative, re-told over the centuries, is that of a witch-hunt caused by a bigoted outsider. Newly discovered evidence paints a very different, still darker picture, revealing a secret history underneath de Lancre's well-known tale. Far from an outside imposition, witchcraft was a home-grown problem. Panic had been building up over a number of years and the region was fractured by factionalism and a struggle over scarce resources. The Basque Witch-Hunt reveals that de Lancre was no outsider; he was a local partisan, married into the Basque nobility. Living at the Franco-Spanish border, the Basques were victims of geography. Geo-politics caused a local conflict which made the witch-hunt inevitable. The same forces eventually sent thousands of religious refugees from Spain to France where they, in turn, became new objects of popular fear and anger. The Basque witch-hunt is justly infamous. This book shows that almost everything historians thought they knew about it is wrong.

La grande chasse aux sorcières
Author: Ludovic Viallet
Publisher: Armand Colin
ISBN: 2200634412
Category : Art
Languages : fr
Pages : 332
Book Description
Entre les XVe et XVIIIe siècles, la chasse aux sorciers et sorcières a fait des dizaines de milliers de morts en Europe. Accusées de pacte avec le diable, de crimes abominables et de maléfices, les victimes, essentiellement des femmes, ont dû endosser la responsabilité des malheurs de toute sorte frappant individus et communautés. Expié sur les bûchers, ce crime imaginaire a été largement théorisé par les juristes et les théologiens, souvent tenaillés par l’obsession diabolique et animés par une volonté d’uniformité sociale. Mais il a d’abord été nourri des peurs et croyances collectives, des failles béantes de la nature humaine et des machineries des administrations alors en construction. Si les pouvoirs civils, prenant le relais de l’Église, ont très vite traqué les adeptes de Satan, « déviants » devenus criminels absolus, ce sont également eux qui ont progressivement éteint les feux d’une répression devenue destructrice de l’ordre social.
