Written by King James VI of Scotland in 1597, Daemonologie is a comprehensive treatise on demonology, witchcraft, and necromancy.

It was heavily influenced by King James' personal involvement in the North Berwick witch trials and includes an account of these trials in the form of the news pamphlet 'Newes from Scotland'.
The work endorses the practice of witch hunting and provides classifications of demons and their interactions with humans.
It also touches on topics such as werewolves and fairies, considered to be demonic spirits.
The book is significant for its historical insight into 17th-century attitudes towards witchcraft and the occult.
