autumnk3lly's review against another edition
I really really wanted to but the semester came to an end and I had to return the book. Loved what I did read though.
brhillmann's review against another edition
5.0
If you're researching 16th and 17th century witch trials in Scotland and England, you definitely need this book. The text is maintained as close to the original as possible, and a translation with updated language is provided to accompany, including Newes from Scotland in full with woodcuts and notations.
dinoparker's review against another edition
4.0
King James tract is phenomenal and disturbing at once. It’s a great piece of literature and a study of theological and political rhetoric. Tyson’s Edition is good in that it modernizes the spelling making it easier to read, but his commentaries, introduction, and other materials are terrible. He has obvious biases toward witchcraft and against King James which askew the notes. It should not be taken as a piece of academic scholarship.
