Malleus Maleficarum [Hammer of the Witches] 1486

medievalthedas:

Scans of the original book. It’s in Latin, so not that readable for most of us. But really cool to look at.

The text itself is about witches and witchcraft and was used to prosecute those accused.

I’ve read this before!  It’s such a weird document.

(If you get the pun, all the awards!)
