- Thomas Ady (fl. siglo XVII) fue un médico y humanista inglés, autor de dos libros escépticos acerca de la brujería y la caza de brujas. Su primer trabajo, y el más conocido, A Candle in the Dark: Or, A Treatise Concerning the Nature of Witches & Witchcraft, fue usado por George Burroughs, ministro puritano de la parroquia, en su defensa durante los juicios de Salem. La segunda publicación de Ady, publicado en 1661, se trataba de una reimpresión de su primer trabajo, con un título nuevo, A Perfect Discovery of Witches. El cambio en el título pudo haber sido en honor del libro de Reginald Scot Discoverie of Witchcraft, el primer libro de su clase en la lengua inglesa. Los panfletos sobre los casos de brujería tendían a utilizar la palabra 'Descubrimiento' en sus títulos (The most strange and admirable discouerie of the three witches of Warboys, The vvonderfull discouerie of witches in the countie of Lancaster, etc.). En este sentido, el argumento de Ady es entonces el descubrimiento de lo que las brujas realmente son, a pesar de todas las acusaciones: inocentes. Su tercera publicación fue The Doctrine of Devils proved to be the grand apostacy of these later times. An essay tending to rectifie those undue notions and apprehensions men have about daemons and evil spirits (1676). (es)
- Thomas Ady (fl. 17th century) was an English physician and humanist who was the author of two sceptical books on witchcraft and witch-hunting. His first and best known work,A Candle in the Dark: Or, A Treatise Concerning the Nature of Witches & Witchcraft, was used unsuccessfully by George Burroughs, formerly the Puritan minister of the parish, in his defense during the Salem witch trials. Ady's second publication, published in 1661, was a reprint of his first, with a new title, A Perfect Discovery of Witches. The work could have been re-named in honour of Reginald Scot's Discoverie of Witchcraft, the first book of its kind in the English language. But pamphlets about cases of witchcraft tended to use 'Discovery' in their titles (The most strange and admirable discouerie of the three witches of Warboys, The vvonderfull discouerie of witches in the countie of Lancaster, etc.). Ady's point is that he discovers what 'witches' really are, despite all the accusations: innocent. His third publication was The Doctrine of Devils proved to be the grand apostacy of these later times.
