This volume presents a magnificent attempt to understand this demonological thinking and the intellectual activity of which it was a part. --Choice<br> A short review cannot do justice to the richness or the subtlety of this volume. One of the most striking things about it is Clark's willingness to treat the subject with proper seriousness....The book...ought to be in the hands of as many readers as possible. --Sixteenth Century Journal<br> Nothing in [Clark's] earlier writings would have led one to expect that he was meditating a work so powerful in conception and so massive in scale as he has now produced.
