This is the only authoritative text of this late novel. It reproduces the manuscript which Mark Twain wrote last, and the only one he finished or called the "The Mysterious Stranger." Albert Bigelow Paine's edition of the same name has been shown to be a textual fraud.

Das Werk bietet auf der Grundlage von Hexenverhörprotokollen der Zeit 1580-1650 eine regional differenzierte Dokumentation der frühneuzeitlichen Kanzleisprache. Die hier erstmals edierten 56 Protokolle entstammen deutschen Archiven; sie sind in diplomatischer Form zugänglich gemacht, damit ein vergleichender Überblick möglich wird. Da die Verhöre den gemeinsamen Nenner ,Hexereiverfolgung' und somit ähnliche Strukturen aufweisen, liegt mit diesem sprachhistorischen Korpus ein Materialfundus vor, der verschiedenen Forschungsinteressen dienen kann. Er wirft Fragen nach formalen und textstrukturellen Merkmalen, dem Verhältnis von Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit, den regionalen Spezifika der jeweiligen Kanzleisprache, den kulturellen und konfessionellen Unterschieden sowie nach der Pragmatik der frühneuzeitlichen Rechtskommunikation auf. Das Werk besteht aus drei Teilen, die durch den Leitaspekt ,Sprache' verbunden sind. Band 1 enthält die Edition autopsierter Original-Protokolle. Band 2 enthält eine Bibliographie. Die beigegebene CD-ROM ergänzt diese Texte um weitere, anderen Editionen entnommene Protokolle, so dass insgesamt gegen 100 Quellen greifbar werden. Das Werk ist durch das Ausmaß des präsentierten Materials und durch dessen Erschließung (Erläuterungstexte, kommentierende Fußnoten, Wort- und Sachregister) für die Sprachgeschichte, aber auch für die Rechts- und Kulturgeschichte von großer Bedeutung. Mit ihm werden Grundlagen bereitgestellt, die nicht zuletzt für eine interdisziplinäre Kooperation von hohem Nutzen sein können.

In the 1980s, America was gripped by widespread panics about Satanic cults. Conspiracy theories abounded about groups who were allegedly abusing children in day-care centers, impregnating girls for infant sacrifice, brainwashing adults, and even controlling the highest levels of government. As historian of religions David Frankfurter listened to these sinister theories, it occurred to him how strikingly similar they were to those that swept parts of the early Christian world, early modern Europe, and postcolonial Africa. He began to investigate the social and psychological patterns that give rise to these myths. Thus was born Evil Incarnate, a riveting analysis of the mythology of evilconspiracy. The first work to provide an in-depth analysis of the topic, the book uses anthropology, the history of religion, sociology, and psychoanalytic theory, to answer the questions "What causes people collectively to envision evil and seek to exterminate it?" and "Why does the representation of evil recur in such typical patterns?" Frankfurter guides the reader through such diverse subjects as witch-hunting, the origins of demonology, cannibalism, and the rumors of Jewish ritual murder, demonstrating how societies have long expanded upon their fears of such atrocities to address a collective anxiety. Thus, he maintains, panics over modern-day infant sacrifice are really not so different from rumors about early Christians engaging in infant feasts during the second and third centuries in Rome. In Evil Incarnate, Frankfurter deepens historical awareness that stories of Satanic atrocities are both inventions of the mind and perennial phenomena, not authentic criminal events. True evil, as he so artfully demonstrates, is not something organized and corrupting, but rather a social construction that inspires people to brutal acts in the name of moral order.
