Daemonologie: In Modern English - Paperback

by Tomas Orozco (Translator), King James VI of Scotland (Author)

In 1597, fourteen years before the publication of the King James Bible, King James wrote and published Daemonologie, a philosophical monograph on the supernatural entities believed by King James to wander the earth. The book details a dialogue between Philomathes and Epistemon, two men who seek to uncover the truth of everything from demons to witchcraft through theological and philosophical discourse. These writings fueled the fires behind witch trials for years to come, and are even believed to have influenced Shakespeare's Macbeth. Originally written in Early Modern English, this version has been transliterated for the comfort of modern readers, providing the authentic Daemonologie experience.
