Some toughts on "witch-hunting" in Western Europe in the early new time

Abstract

The article is devoted to the widely known phenomenon in scientific historiography of witch-hunting. The author considers this problem on the basis of the analysis of the recently defended candidate's thesis by N.V. Filatova, devoted to the study of this phenomenon on the materials of Scotland in the second half of the 16th – the first third of the 18th century. We have shown that Filatova's work is a valuable contribution to this topic, which broadens our understanding of the phenomenon of European witchcraft and its persecution through the example of its Scottish version. At the same time, certain shortcomings and unused opportunities in the study have been identified, which do not reduce the overall assessment of the work.
