Description

Collection of three previously published essays by David Craine on early modern Manx history: 'The Killing of William Mac a Faille' (1639), 'Sorcery and Witchcraft' (16th–18th centuries), and 'Church and Clergy, 1600–1800'. Edited and reprinted by Stephen Miller in 1994. Based on close-reading of Manx Museum manuscript holdings, these essays provide insights into Manx legal procedure, folk belief, ecclesiastical governance, agricultural practice, and social structures during the period preceding the Revestment.
