39 The basic source for the Kyteler affair is T. Wright, Narrative of the proceedings against Dame Alice Kyteler for sorcery, London, 1843 (Camden Society); this is a contemporary source. The Annals of Ireland (in Chartularies of St Mary’s Abbey, Dublin, ed. J. T. Gilbert, vol. II, London, 1884 (Rolls Series), pp. 362-4) are a less reliable source, as they cannot have been composed before 1370 and may even date from the end of the fifteenth century. Holinshed’s account in his Chronicle of Ireland, London, 1587, p. 69, is based on the Annals.

Philosophisch-historische Klasse, Göttingen, 1968) argues that the capitulary proves the existence of witchcraft practices which included cannibalism. I am not persuaded.
