Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A witch-hunting manual written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer, an Inquisitor of the Catholic Church, and first published in Germany in 1487. Jacob Sprenger's name is also attached to the book, though it is unclear if he did anything more than endorse it. The book, whose title translates to "Hammer of the Witches" is virulently misogynistic, though acknowledging that both men and women can be witches. The book proposed encouraged the use of torture in to extract confessions in ways that were not actually legal under the laws of the Inquisition. The book's original endorsement was probably forged; the Inquisition actually discouraged the use of this manual by their witch-hunters, but that did not prevent laymen from using it. |
