Synopsis

"Satans Invisible World Discovered" by George Sinclair is a preservation facsimile of the 1685 Edinburgh edition by the 17th-century Scottish philosopher and mathematician. This volume assembles a large collection of eyewitness accounts—Relacions—documenting the existence of a supernatural world, featuring narratives of devils, spirits, witches, and apparitions. It includes well-known cases such as Major Weir and his sister, the Drummer of Tedworth, and Agnes Sympson, along with various apparitions reported in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Renfrewshire. Additionally, the book contains proclamations and a supplement with further notices on witchcraft cases in Renfrew, Pittenweem, Calder, Kinross, and other locations. Reflecting the late 17th-century belief in occult phenomena, this work preserves a record of popular testimony and the scientific curiosity of its time, complete with editorial material that provides historical context.
