Heinrich Kramer's 'The Hammer of Witches: Malleus Maleficarum' is a seminal work in the history of witchcraft trials and demonology. Written in the 15th century, this book serves as a manual for the detection, persecution, and execution of witches. Kramer, a German inquisitor, wrote 'The Hammer of Witches' during a period of widespread witch hunts and mass hysteria. His work was instrumental in shaping the witch trials that plagued Europe for centuries, making him a polarizing figure in the history of witchcraft persecution.
For the first time ever, an international investigation team joins forces to unravel the mysteries of the Malleus Maleficarum, or Hammer of Witches. Written in 1486, this infamous medieval manual changed the way the Western world saw evil. With detailed instructions on how to find, prosecute, and punish witches, the Malleus inspired centuries of accusation and bloodshed on both sides of the Atlantic.
Witch Hunter's Bible exposes how our ancestors used a detailed instruction manual to find, and dispose of, suspected witches. The Malleus Maleficarum, also known as the Hammer of Witches, dramatically influenced the public's view of witchcraft. Written back in 1486, this infamous medieval guidebook added intellectual and religious weight to the argument that witches were real and should be put to death.
Delving into the eerie, ancient world of witch-hunting, for the first time, an international team of scholars and investigators takes an in-depth look at this terrifying book, to reveal the shocking methods once used in an attempt to rid society of a perceived threat. No stone is left unturned as we set out to unveil the outrageous truth behind one of the most infamous publications ever written.
Now, through intense recreations and extensive interviews with scholars, we'll take viewers on a journey through madness to gain insight into the authorship, legitimacy and history of the Hammer of Witches.
