The Malleus Maleficarum is one of the bestknown treatises dealing with the problem of what to do with witches It was written in 1487 by a Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Institoris following his failure to prosecute a number of women for witchcraft it is in many ways a highly personal document full of frustration at official complacency in the face of a spiritual threat as well as being a practical guide for lawofficers who have to deal with a cunning dangerous enemy Combining theological discussion illustrative anecdotes and useful advice for those involved in suppressing witchcraft its influence on witchcraft studies has been extensiveThe only previous translation into English that by Montague Summers produced in 1928 is full of inaccuracies It is written in a style almost unreadable nowadays and is unfortunately coloured by his personal agenda This new edited translation with an introductory essay setting witchcraft Institoris and the Malleus into clear readable English corrects Summers mistakes and offers a lean unvarnished version of what Institoris actually wrote It will undoubtedly become the standard translation of this important and controversial latemedieval text

The Malleus Maleficarum is a seminal treatise regarding witchcraft and demons presented here complete with an authoritative translation to modern English by Montague Summers At the time this book was published in 1487 the Christian church had considered witchcraft a dangerous affront to the faith for many centuries Executions of suspected witches were intermittent and various explanations of behaviors deemed suspect were thought to be caused by possession either by the devil or demon such as an incubus or succubus Kramer wrote this book after he had tried and failed to have a woman executed for witchcraft Unhappy at the verdict of the court he authored the Malleus Maleficarum as a manual for other witch seekers to refer to For centuries the text was used by Christians as a reference source on matters of demonology although it was not used directly by the Inquisition who became notorious for their tortures and murders
