The Malleus Maleficarum. The Guide of the Holy Inquisition

How to recognize a witch among virtuous women? How to properly conduct an interrogation, torture, or execute a person suspected of having a sinful connection with the devil? Only one book in the world can answer these questions – “The... Malleus Maleficarum.” For over five hundred years, it has remained the only comprehensive guide on the “witch hunt.” The authority of German inquisitors Jacob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer, also known as Heinrich Institoris, on matters concerning the most pressing task of that time – the salvation of the soul – was confirmed by Pope Innocent VIII in a special bull. Rich in vivid details of everyday life and customs, meticulously reproducing the norms of judicial proceedings of the 15th century, “The Malleus Maleficarum” will immerse you in true medieval times.
