Abstract

abstract:This article explores the shadowy Pärnu witch trials of 1641‒42, including an edited and annotated transcript of the trials. The file is preserved in the Estonian Historical Archives, EAA. f. 915 (County Court of Pärnu), n.1, s.1, pages 54‒70 and 83‒90, with a comprehensive explanation. The trial in Pärnu was the most detailed known trial in the territory of Estonia. The author shows how tense societal relations led to real anger in the economic top-down hierarchy. As is common in a microhistory, the article reveals the life of the peasant Laÿske Martt, the first person actually accused and the instigator of the following tragic consequences.

1641-1642年前后的女巫追捕Pärnu

本文探讨了1641 - 1642年阴云笼罩的Pärnu女巫审判，包括一份经过编辑和注释的审判记录。该档案保存在爱沙尼亚历史档案馆(EAA)。f. 915 (Pärnu县法院)，第1段、第5段，第54-70页和83-90页，并作全面解释。Pärnu的审判是爱沙尼亚境内已知的最详细的审判。作者展示了紧张的社会关系如何在自上而下的经济等级制度中导致真正的愤怒。正如微观历史中常见的那样，这篇文章揭示了农民Laÿske Martt的生活，他是第一个被指控的人，也是接下来悲剧后果的煽动者。

期刊介绍： Preternature provides an interdisciplinary, inclusive forum for the study of topics that stand in the liminal space between the known world and the inexplicable. The journal embraces a broad and dynamic definition of the preternatural that encompasses the weird and uncanny—magic, witchcraft, spiritualism, occultism, esotericism, demonology, monstrophy, and more, recognizing that the areas of magic, religion, and science are fluid and that their intersections should continue to be explored, contextualized, and challenged.
