In the chapter feature, “The Written Record: A City Official Worries About Witch Hunting,” in which way does the Chancellor view witch hunting in Wurzburg? Although he seems to be concerned about the barbarity of it, how does it appear that at the same time, he approves of it as well?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Essays should include the following: He mentions that class and rank do not seem to prevent one from being charged and burned at the stake. He lists groups of people who have been singled out and many are students and even seminary students as well. The young are not excluded. Charges seem to be from as marginal as simply one appears to be touched by the devil. He mentions that he actually was aware of an assembly where the devil was in personal attendance. Some type of vow was signed, but he makes no mention of what the assembly was all about and vow involved. From the description, a religious frenzy has taken place that was so common for this time in history and it seems that the Chancellor was a part of it.
