The Hammer of Witches

The famous medieval treatise "The Hammer of Witches" was written in the late 15th century by Dominican theologians J. Sprenger and H. Institoris. This work combined the experience of the Inquisition in fighting numerous heresies, becoming the most significant document of that time. The book is supplemented with materials from popular scientific writings from the second half of the 19th century — in particular, about how witches and sorcerers were fought against in Rus'.
