""Saducismus triumphatus"", Frontispiece, 1682

Entitled: "Saducismus triumphatus: or, Full and plain evidence concerning witches and apparitions. In two parts. The first treating of their possiblity. The second of their real existence. By Joseph Glanvil, 1682." Joseph Glanvill (1636-1680) was an English writer, philosopher, and clergyman. He is known also for Sadducismus Triumphatus (1681), which decried skepticism about the existence and supernatural power of witchcraft and contained a collection of 17th century folklore about witches, including one of the earliest descriptions of a witch bottle. Sadducismus Triumphatus deeply influenced Cotton Mather's Wonders of the Invisible World (1693), written to justify the Salem witch trials in the following year.
