The Malleus Maleficarum, first published in 1486-7, is the standard medieval text describing the evil acts of witches and the ways to exterminate them. Mackay's translation, based on his extensive research and detailed analysis of the Latin text, is the only complete English version available, and the most reliable.

The legend of a dog which is unjustly killed by its master in error, after it has defended his child from attack by a snake or wolf, appears in several popular cultures of Indo-European origin. This book concentrates on a local cult among the peasants of the Dombes, north of Lyons, who brought their sick child to the grave of 'Saint Guinefort', the martyred greyhound, for preservation from disease. Provides rare access to the underlying cultural traditions of Europe.
