Malleus Maleficarum: Hammer of Witches

This edition of the medieval witch-hunting manual Malleus Maleficarum includes a new foreword that provides historical context for this primary source, originally penned in the 1480s by Heinrich Kramer, a Dominican inquisitor. The book reflects the intense fears and practices of witch-hunting during the Middle Ages and offers insight into a shadowy era of history. Written as both a defense of Heinrich's methods and a call to others, it remains a significant, if controversial, document from that period.
