The Malleus Maleficarum

"The Malleus Maleficarum," or "The Witch Hammer," is a 15th-century handbook by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger for hunting witches, aiding the Inquisition. A mix of superstition and folklore, it served as a spiritual law book for judges. This 1928 translation by Montague Summers offers insights into religion and witch hunts in Europe.
