Book: Witch Hunters: Professional Prickers, Unwitchers & Witch Finders Of The Renaissance This book examines the lives and careers of possibly the most sadistic group of people of the 16th and 17th centuries, the "great age" of witch-hunting in Europe and North America. From the doyen of witch-hunters, the Jesuit del Rio, to the British Matthew Hopkins, not to mention Pierre de Lancre, a judge who was responsible for burning 600 women, P.G.Maxwell-Stuart charts the progress of these fierce and dangerous zealots, while providing an insight into the world they perceived as evil and which they sought to destroy.
