Resumen

Mucho antes de que la persecución de los individuos por brujería se convirtiera en una imposibilidad jurídica en los Estados de la Europa moderna, las instituciones judiciales y ejecutivas de esos Estados y sus precursores fueron decisivas para legitimar y moderar, facilitar y restringir la detección, el juicio y la ejecución de supuestas brujas. Si hemos de imputar más que una disonancia cognitiva no resuelta a esta relación paradójica del aparato del estado con la realidad percibida y la amenaza de la brujería, entonces las precondiciones y los factores contextuales que predican esa relación llevan a la investigación. Este artículo identifica huellas genealógicas de pensamiento criminológico, político, social y religioso incrustado dentro de varios cuerpos fundamentales del derecho temprano-moderno relacionados con la brujería, e intenta inferir las fuentes y condiciones culturales, institucionales y textuales de las cuales derivan.
