Summary
| Description |
English: Suspected witches from North Berwick are threatened with a beating as they appear before two Scottish magistrates. The seated man is commonly and erroneously referred to as King James I and VI, according to Alinda Damsa (Damsma, Alinda. “Another Royal Encounter for the Woman of Endor: Samuel 1 28 as a proof text in King James VI's Daemonologie.” Hebrew Studies, vol. 62, 2021, pp. 157–80. JSTOR, https://www.jstor.org/stable/27086999.)]] |

| Source | English pamphlet: "News from Scotland declaring the damnable life and death of Doctor Fian, a notable sorcerer who was burned at Edenbrough in January 1591". This illustration is sometimes mistakenly said to be from Daemonologie, by King James I and VI. However, the illustration does not appear in the 1597 or 1604 editions of Daemonologie. The mistake may have arisen because Bodley Head Quartos reprinted Daemonologie along with the "News from Scotland..." in a 1924 reprint edited by G. B. Harrison. The reprint is available on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/kingjamesfirstdm00jame/page/10/mode/1up. The original pamphet is available from the British Library (C.101.a.6) and the Bodleian Library (Douce F.210) |
