Step into the shadows of the 16th century with Abraham Saur’s Theatrum de Veneficis, a monumental compendium that maps the terrifying boundary between the natural and the supernatural. From the 'juggling' illusions of the Devil to skeptical deconstructions of haunted houses, this text reveals how the early modern mind grappled with magic, ghosts, and the dark psychology of fear.
