TheGermanLutheran Kepler,scientistthoughte was,firmlybelievedhis mother'slastillnesswas causedbyawitch.AccordingtotheAnglican"DictionaryoftheChristian Church,thelasttrialsfor witchcraftoccurredinEnglandin1712;inScotland, 1722;inSwitzerland,1782; andinGermanyin1793. Oneofthemostnotorious individualsinthisconnectionwasMatthewHopkins inEngland,whoadoptedthe lucrativeprofessionofinformeragainstwitches.Contemporaryaccountssaythat in14months1645-46,he sentmorewitches-orthose heaccusedofbeingwitches -tothegallowsthanhad beenputtodeathforwitchcraftintheprevious150 years.Beliefinwitchcraft wasaEuropean-widemania, almostincredibletousin ourdays.
