The Trial of Tempel Anneke: Records of a Witchcraft Trial in Brunswick, Germany, 1663

The Trial of Tempel Anneke examines documents from an early modern European witchcraft trial with the pedagogical goal of allowing students to interact directly with primary sources. A brief historiographical essay has been added, along with eleven civic records, including regulations about sorcery, Tempel Anneke’s marital agreement, and court salaries, which provide an even clearer picture of life in seventeenth-century Europe. Maps of Harxbuttel and the Holy Roman Empire and lists of key players enable easy reference.
