A study of witchcraft and the ritual of the Witches' Sabbath in West European culture. Analyzes the folkloric and mythical strata of the phenomenon, and the appearance of the stereotype of the devilish and anti-Christian Witches' Sabbath in the 15th century, due to investigations and trials of the Inquisition against witches and heretics. Part I (pp. 5-61) discusses frequent cases of persecutions and massacres of Jews in the 14th-15th centuries, accused (along with lepers) of poisoning the wells and spreading the plague as part of a plot to destroy Christianity. Examines the ideological mechanism of the Inquisition's campaign that led to the alleged association of the Jews with lepers, witches, and magicians, and their connection with diabolical forces.
