Blaming women for his own lust, and frustrated by official complacency before what he saw as a monstrous spiritual menace, Kramer penned a practical guide to aid law officers in the identification and prosecution of witches. Fusing theology, lurid anecdotes and advice for those engaged in combating sorcery, The Malleus Maleficarum transports the reader into the dark heart of medieval belief – where fear and the supernatural converged in a gripping struggle for understanding and control. The book led to the burning of numerous heretics and ‘witches’ and had a lasting impact on the popular image of witchcraft.This edition offers a clear, readable translation and an introduction that lays out the context of late-medieval Europe, a time of spiritual paranoia when powerful men suspected women’s sexuality was a tool of the Devil.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Peter Maxwell-Stuart (Edited and translated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 355gRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
