About This Book

Daemonologie, In Forme of a Dialogue, Divided into three Books, usually known as Daemonologie, is as a philosophical dissertation by James VI and I on contemporary necromancy and the historical relationships between the various methods of divination used from ancient black magic, first published in 1597. It was reprinted in 1603 when James took the throne of England. The widespread consensus is that King James wrote Dæmonologie in response to sceptical publications such as Reginald Scot's The Discoverie of Witchcraft.
