The Witch Hammer

"The Witch Hammer" — a legendary treatise on demonology, created in the 15th century by German inquisitors Jacob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer. This work aimed to convincingly prove the existence of witches, demonstrate their wicked deeds, and serve as a practical guide to eradicating witchcraft. Even in the Middle Ages, it became a true bestseller, and today this book serves as a monumental and frightening monument to its time. The edition contains numerous ancient illustrations, as well as a preface, comments, and additions by historian and medievalist Grigory Bakus, a leading specialist on this work.
