About this ebook
This is the best known (i.e., the most infamous) of the witch-hunt manuals. Written in Latin, the Malleus was first submitted to the University of Cologne on May 9th, 1487. The title is translated as "The Hammer of Witches". Written by James Sprenger and Henry Kramer (of which little is known), the Malleus remained in use for three hundred years. It had tremendous influence in the witch trials in England and on the continent.

*facepalm I keep reading reviews about how upset everyone is about how this book and it's views on witch's and the craft are upsetting and offensive, so I would like everyone who doesn't know that this is a historical document infamously used during the salem witch trails to help identify individuals "mainly women" suspected of being in league with the devil. Used by puritan's and so on.

the authors notes are a great insight into the history and politics of this book and the uses of claiming someone is a witch, the other reviews have blatantly not read the book. it is a historical text. plus on a site note the book condems evil witches that do harm and protects healers that use processes they do not understand so......read the book.
