What? No "Necronomicon"?

Now this is a cool use of the Internet: 102 books on witchcraft, witchfinding and witch trials, from Cornell's collection of over 3,000 titles on the Inquisition and witch-hunts. They've got the Malleus Maleficarum. They've got Fortalitium Fidei. They've got The Discoverie of Witchcraft. They're mostly English works, with several Latin texts and a few in French and German. And you can view them either as plaintext or as scanned images of the originals.

Wow, I bet that's what Willow was reading when she did research on Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

Time to replenish the "sinister" files!

Y'know the tough part to transcribing the Necronomicon online is the translation - some poor chap always goes mad in the process and then they have to hire a replacement.
Rinse, lather at the mouth and repeat.
