Also known as "The Witch Hammer," The Malleus Maleficarum was a
handbook for hunting and punishing witches-written by Inquisitors
HEINRICH KRAMER (c. 1430-1505), an Alsatian clergyman, and JAMES
SPRENGER (c. 1436-1494), a Swiss monk-to assist the Inquisition and
Church in exterminating undesirables. Mostly a compilation of
superstition and folklore, the book was taken very seriously at the
time it was written in the 15th century and became a kind of
spiritual law book used by judges to determine the guilt of the
accused. While some of the articles covered in "The Witch Hammer"
are humorous to modern audiences, they were a matter of life and
death in the mid-1400's. Anyone interested in religion, the
Inquisition, or the witch hunts that ravaged Europe will find this
1928 translation, by MONTAGUE SUMMERS (1880-1948), an unbelievable
and enlightening read.
