Resumo
The historical and historical-legal study of the processes by witchcraft and other crimes such as lycanthropy or satanic cult are very difficult because in some countries, such as France, minutes of the trials were burned by the condemned. In addition, the mixture of facts, religious ideas and superstitions further increases the number of problems that the study of these trials entails. This article analyzes the trial of Pierre and Michel, two werewolves in the city of Besancon in France in the sixteenth century, based on the book by Jean Wier De Praestigiis daemonum. Jean Wier wrote a lengthy summary of those court records and studied the plausibility of the charges. Jean Wier, a Catholic doctor and a humanist who lived in Europe during the religious wars of the sixteenth century, denied the value of the witchcraft, lycanthropy and satanic cults trials, because he believed that imaginary facts of the accusations were often no more than inventions of poor and ignorant peasants.
