John Webster, 1677
WEBSTER, John (1610-1682). The Displaying of Supposed Witchcraft. London: J.M., 1677.
First edition, a fine large paper copy, of a famous treatise on witchcraft. Webster was a Protestant chaplain and Paracelsian physician who here "attacked the credulous views of Meric Casaubon, Richard Glanvill, and Henry More concerning witchcraft and demonology. He did not completely deny the existence of witches but disputed the more extravant statements about their powers" (Norman). This wide-margined copy includes the final blank. Norman 2191; Wing W-1230.
Folio (351 x 225mm). With license leaf and final blank (closed tear to margin, a few scattered spots). Contemporary English calf, marbled edges, retaining earlier endpapers (rebacked, corners showing).
