Person
Nicolas Rémy
Nicolas Rémy was a magistrate and procurator-general of the Duchy of Lorraine and one of the most notorious witch-hunters of early modern Europe. He claimed to have sent some 900 people to their deaths for witchcraft over fifteen years. His treatise Daemonolatreia (1595), drawn from these trials, became an influential handbook for witch prosecutors.
