The malleus maleficarum
Heinrich Institoris, Jakob Sprenger, Montague Summers (Translator)
"A handbook for hunting and punishing witches to assist the Inquisition and Church in exterminating undesirables. Mostly a compilation of superstition and folklore, the book was taken very seriously at the time it was written in the 15th century and became a kind of spiritual law book used by judges to determine the guilt of the accused"--Publisher description
