Poster that says "Witchcraft and the Law"

From the first anti-witchcraft law in the UK in 1542 to when Canada finally repealed its law against 鈥減retending to practice witchcraft鈥 in 2018; there have been thousands of witchcraft cases in both official courts and via 鈥渕ob justice鈥.

This exhibit brings together rare materials from the Nahum Gelber Law Library, the Osler Library of the History of Medicine and the Library's ROAAr unit to showcase these historic 鈥渨itch trials鈥, philosophical debates on the existence of magical beings and practical instructions for how to perform an exorcism.

Exhibit curated by Ana Rogers-Butterworth.
