Daemonologie
Daemonologie (full name "Daemonologie, In Forme of a Dialogie, Diuided into three Bookes. By James Rx") is the book written and published in 1597 by King James VI of Scotland (later also James I of England). In the book he approves and supports the practise of witch hunting. He starts the book: "The fearefull aboundinge at this time in this countrie, of these detestable slaves of the Devil, the Witches or enchaunters, hath moved me (beloved reader) to dispatch in post, this following treatise of mine (...) to resolve the doubting (...) both that such assaults of Satan are most certainly practised, and that the instrument thereof merits most severely to be punished."
He was influenced by his personal involvement in the North Berwick witch trials.
