WITCHES two alleged witches subjected to the ordeal of water: the judgment of God would have shown innocence. Women were thrown into the water with their hands and feet bound. If they drowned they would have been acquitted, if they floated they would prove their evil powers and then they would be condemned for witchcraft. One of them is depicted floating and the other, of which only hands and feet are seen, is drowning. Colored engraving of the 16th century.
