Description
The Malleus Maleficarum by P.G. Maxwell-Stuart is a 15th-century treatise that explores the problem of witchcraft and its suppression. Written in 1487, it reflects the frustration of its author with official complacency in the face of a spiritual threat. This new translation, edited to correct inaccuracies from previous versions, offers a lean and unvarnished account of Heinrich Institoris' original work. The result is a clear and readable text that sheds light on this important and controversial late-medieval text. By examining witchcraft, its author, and the Malleus Maleficarum in detail, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this complex and often misunderstood topic.
