The Malleus Maleficarum of Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger

Translated With Introductions, Bibliography and Notes by Rev. Montague Summers

Published by Dover Publications Inc: New York c1995 (undated copy of 1971 publication)


" The Malleus Maleficarum, usually translated as the Hammer of Witches, is the best known treatise purporting to be about witchcraft. It was written by the German Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer (under his Latinized name Henricus Institor) and first published in the German city of Speyer in 1486. Some describe it as the compendium of literature in demonology of the 15th century. Kramer blamed women for his own lust and presented his views as the Church's position. The book was condemned by top theologians of the Inquisition at the Faculty of Cologne for recommending unethical and illegal procedures, and for being inconsistent with Catholic doctrines of demonology."
