The present translation was undertaken in the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century by Classics professor William R. Nethercut, and predates John Shea's translation, which was published in 1991 as \"Witches, devils, and doctors in the Renaissance\" and credited as the first English translation. Strangely, there is no mention of Nethercut in Shea's work (despite both projects being connected to Columbia University), and we were unable to trace any other copy of Nethercut's translation on OCLC.
