The leader of numerous research projects about witches and the legal proceedings against them in early modern Europe, Behringer was first inspired to study this subject after he had a glimpse into the state archives of Bavaria while he was a university student in Munich. He has written numerous books on the subject, several of which, including his Witchcraft Persecutions in Bavaria: Popular Magic, Religious Zealotry, and Reason of State in Early Modern Europe, have been translated into English. Wolfgang Behringer has spent most of his career documenting the history of witch persecutions in Europe.
