Reader's note

This 1968 edition of The Hammer of Witchcraft by Jacobus Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer will add some intrigue to your reading list! The Malleus Maleficarum, Hexenhammer, or Hammer of the Witches, was first printed in 1486, only six years before Columbus sailed to the American continent. It is perhaps the most important and terrible work on demonology ever written. It is a textbook of procedure: an official blueprint for the suppression of an underground movement against the Christian structure of medieval society. The leader of this movement was the Devil, its servants were witches. The Bible said 'thou shalt not suffer a witch to live'. Extermination must be careful but ruthless, and to this end the authors give the answer to every doubt likely to be advanced together with the means to extract confessions and effect punishment. As a result, thousands were tortured to death in prison, or burned at the stake. The inquisitors who drew up this document did so with the express authority of the Pope.
