Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the second part of the Malleus Maleficarum, explores the practices and beliefs of witches during the late medieval period. Written by German Catholic clergyman Heinrich Kramer, this infamous text remains one of the most important historical sources on witchcraft during the European witch craze. The Malleus Maleficarum is divided into three parts, with the second part focusing specifically on the methods witches use to inflict harm and how to counteract their practices. Drawing on biblical references, classical sources, and contemporary accounts, Kramer details the supposed techniques witches use to cause misfortune, including the crafting of potions and ointments, shape-shifting, and summoning demons. It is staunchly misogynistic, arguing that women are particularly susceptible to witchcraft due to their weaker nature and association with the Biblical Eve. Despite its biased and sensationalized perspective, the Malleus Maleficarum provides insights into the beliefs and fears surrounding witchcraft during a tumultuous period in European history, revealing the deep-rooted misogyny and superstition that fueled the witch hunts.
