This book is a translation of the records of a witchcraft trial that took place in Brunswick, Germany, in Our intent has been to make the complete contents of the original documents available in English, as they exist in the archive, and occasionally as they can be reconstructed from other sources.
Our decision to translate the records arose from our joint belief that they offer an unusually close picture of the people involved, especially of Tempel Anneke herself. Of the trial records in the Brunswick area that we have read, including some as detailed as the Tempel Anneke case, this one stands out in its vividness. The book is organized into three basic parts. In the Introduction, we give some historical background and describe the legal context of the trial.
The trial records and supplementary archival documents make up the bulk of the book. In the last section, we have included appendices to assist with the Latin terms used in the records, and with the identification of the herbs and medicinal ingredients mentioned in the trial testimony.
The second section of the Introduction describes the archival documents: of what they consist, who wrote them, and the positions and responsibilities of the court officials named.
This second section also considers some aspects of the translation, such as the choice of specific words as well as certain conventions we have adopted in reproducing the text.
We wish to emphasize what this volume does not undertake to do. It is intended as a primary source document, with as much background informa- tion as is needed to make sense of the text. In this light, the introductory chapter is not in any way intended as a general introduction to the history of the witch trials of early modern Europe. The general history of the trials is a large and complex subject, embracing a number of controversial issues, and we have not attempted a synopsis of it here.
For those readers with an interest in the wider history of the witch trials, we have included footnotes with references, and a brief section of further readings.
Here again, because. We have not included our own interpretation of the records or provided a synopsis of their contents. While we certainly have our own theories about the trial, we do not want these to come between the reader and the text.
We adopted the same approach in the translation. In the interests of providing as direct an experience with the records as possible, this is a fairly literal transla- tion which preserves the style and character of the original, while leaving the result easily readable in English. We thank the Department of Humanities of Mount Royal College for continuous support and encouragement.
The project received financial support, as well as encouragement, from the Scholarly Pursuits Committee of Mount Royal College. Professor J. MacIntosh of the University of Calgary was enthusiastically helpful in obtain- ing financial assistance. The staff of the Stadtarchiv Braunschweig, especially Herr Krone and Herr Nickel, have been continuously helpful, both during our initial collecting of documents and with the selection and reproduction of illustrations.
We also thank the Landesmuseum Braunschweig, and specifically Herr Otte, for help with illustrations. We received much good advice and some useful references from three anonymous reviewers. Finally, we thank Mical Moser of Broadview Press for her encouragement and patience, as well as her constant good humour. The earliest written allegations against her appeared in the summer of , and from these records it seems that there were already at that time official enquiries into her activities.
Her ultimate arrest stemmed from the charge that she used sorcery to obtain the return of goods stolen from a roofer, Hans Tiehmann. Following her arrest the court investigated a number of other allegations against Tempel Anneke, some from many years earlier, and numerous witnesses were questioned about their knowledge of her affairs. The trial lasted from 25 June to 30 December. Under torture she confessed to witchcraft, and on the latter date she was beheaded and her body was burned. Her husband, Hans Kage, had been killed in Blasius in Brunswick, had been established in the village.
The trial testimony indicates that Tempel Anneke practiced as a healer and diviner a person who can obtain hidden information such as the location of lost goods. She had business in Hagen, and the testimony of her activities originates from several towns and villages in the area northwest of the city. Many of the common social characteristics of those accused of witchcraft at the time apply to Tempel Anneke.
She was female, elderly, widowed, and. She may have portrayed her practice as involv- ing magic, although she denies this in her earliest statements to the court. She was literate and owned a few books and herbals, which was unusual for a farm woman of the time. In her testimony she claims to have gained her first medical knowledge from her mother, who had been a maid to a barber in her youth.
In the seventeenth century barbers provided basic medical services in addition to cutting hair. She claims to have obtained additional knowledge from her books, and from the practices of shepherds and other local people. Brunswick lies in the eastern region of Lower Saxony in northern Germany, between Hannover and Berlin. In the twelfth century the Guelph duke, Henry the Lion, selected Brunswick as his principal residence, and he built there a castle and a large cathedral, the Dom of St.
Over the cen- turies Brunswick became an important commercial centre, strategically located on principal trade routes between northern European cities. The jury in Manhattan federal court requested the transcripts less than an hour after resuming deliberations in a large room where they could spread out for coronavirus safety reasons.
They had begun their deliberations late on Monday after closing arguments consumed most of the day, but they worked less than an hour before going home.
They are deciding whether Ms Maxwell, 59, assisted her former financier boyfriend in the sexual abuse of teenage girls from to Prosecutors say she recruited and groomed the girls, making them feel that sexualised massages of Mr Epstein were normal behaviour.
Ms Maxwell's lawyers say the government has used her as a scapegoat after Mr Epstein killed himself in as he awaited a sex trafficking trial of his own. The transcripts requested by the jury pertain to the testimony of two women who testified anonymously as "Jane" and "Carolyn," along with the testimony of Annie Farmer, who identified herself by name and has spoken publicly about her experiences with Ms Maxwell and Mr Epstein.
