In early modern Germany, soothsayers known as wise women and men roamed the countryside. Fixtures of village life, they identified thieves and witches, read palms, and cast horoscopes. Jason Philip Coy brings their world to life by examining theological discourse alongside archival records of prosecution for popular divination in Thuringia.
