E. P. Evans's historical study examines animal trials in Europe, mainly in the medieval and early modern periods. It surveys legal records in which animals were prosecuted, excommunicated, or sentenced for damage or death, and reflects on the beliefs behind such practices. It is worth listening to for its view of law, religion, and popular mentality in the past.
