Malleus Maleficarum (literally "The Hammer of the Evil ones", that is "of the witches") is a Latin treatise published in 1487 by the Dominican friars Jacob Sprenger and Heinrich Institor Kramer, in order to suppress heresy, paganism and witchcraft in Germany .
It is the best known of the three main treatises published on the matter at the end of the fifteenth century: the other two were Formicarius by Johannes Nider (1475, written between 1436 and 1437) and De lamiis et phitonicis mulieribus (Of the witches and fortune tellers) ) by Ulrich Molitor (1489).
Sheet A5r shows the famous Bull of Innocent VIII (dated 1484, first year of his pontificate) which is committed to fighting heresy and witchcraft, giving the powers to fight the 'enemies of the faith' to the authors of the Malleus, who had made an express request to the Pope himself. The Bull, since the first editions of the treatise, was inserted as a preface to the work of Sprenger and Kramer.
It saw the light at a time when witchcraft was beginning to be seen as a form of Satanism.
Condition: copy in excellent condition and complete with all sheets.
