Author Name
Heinrich Kramer (Author)
Heirich Kramer (c 1430 – 1505, aged 74-75), also known by the Latinized name Henricus Institor, was a German Catholic friar of the Dominican order, and inquisitor of the Roman Catholic Church. Ironically, the Dominican order was named after Saint Dominic, the patron saint of falsely accused people. Before Kramer became famous for instigating the witch hunts, he served as a theology professor at the University of Salzburg, Austria. Later, as inquisitor in Austria's Tyrol region, Bohemia, Moravia, and Salzburg, he conducted over 100 witch trials, half of which ended with a "guilty" verdict and the accused were condemned to be burned at a stake. Kramer's greatest impact, however, was realized through his collaboration alongside Jacob Sprenger, with whom he published the infamous: Malleus Maleficarum: Hammer of Witches, that incited the torture and execution of 60,000 victims, nearly all of whom had no connection, whatsoever, to witchcraft.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

A manual of demonology and witchcraft from medieval Europe, the Malleus Maleficarum is an infamous treatise defining methods for identifying, interrogating, and executing supposed witches. 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

' (Exodus 22:18 KJV)First written and published in 1486 by German Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer, this treatise was republished with additions from a second author, Jacob Sprenger, in 1519. Used to persecute supposed practisers of witchcraft during the witch hunts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the Malleus Maleficarum is a haunting reminder of the deep-seated paranoia and religious fervour that led to the torture and deaths of many innocent people.

One of history's most infamous texts, this handbook struck fear into the hearts of many and fuelled the flames of hysteria surrounding ideas of heresy, witchcraft, and the occult during the Middle Ages. This is the 1928 edition translated by the English occultist Montague Summers and featuring his original introduction.
