Drawn from Renazzi's four-volume Elementa Juris Criminalis (first edition 1773-1786), De Sortilegio et Magico calls for the decriminalization of witchcraft and magic. Later editions were published in 1793, 1803 and 1821. All are scarce. OCLC locates 8 copies of the 1792 edition in North America, none in law libraries. Not in the British Museum Catalogue.
