Extra informatie Also published in French as : De la démonomanie des sorciers. Bodin's book on witchcraft is based on his belief in the existence of demons and is directed against the theses of the doctor Johann Weyer, who explained most cases of witchcraft without demons. "In the historical research of the witch hunt, Bodin's work plays an important role in answering the question of the extent to which these events were due to outbreaks of popular anger among uneducated classes or to attacks by leading circles of the population, to the latter of which one usually attributes rational intentions" (Wikipedia).
