Description:
Written in 1486, the Malleus Maleficarum, also known as “Hammer of Witches”, was for centuries the world’s second best-selling book after the Bible.
It is a witch-hunting manual, one which develops a legal-theological theory on the nature of women and portraying the female world as a dark, inverted mirror to our “normal” world. Most evil among all women are the concubines, followed by midwives and the wives who dominate their husbands. We’ve found a copy of the book. And, yes, we’ve read it.
