Reviews
“The strengths of the book is the way in which the contributors highlight the beliefs and practices which fell into grey areas between acceptance and condemnation. … the book … offer a wide variety of case-studies of the ways in which orthodoxy and unorthodoxy interacted across the period.” (Catherine Rider, English Historical Review HER, Vol. 134 (566), February, 2019)
“The volume can be recommended, first of all, to researchers of religious and intellectual history, folklore, the history of magic and witchcraft. Moreover, it can bring new perspectives for understanding the genesis of western science and early modern state-building as well asto the field of border studies.” (Vitali Byl, Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung, Vol. 45 (3), 2018)
