Mapping the Scottish Reformation
This article introduces readers to Mapping the Scottish Reformation, a digital prosopography of ministers who served in the Church of Scotland between the Reformation Parliament of 1560 to the Revolution in 1689.

This vigorous and complex process resulted in a remarkable amount of literature on the topic of superstition. In Enchanted Europe: Superstition, Reason, and Religion, 1250–1750, Euan Cameron forays successfully into this complex intellectua…
