Summary

Heinrich Institoris, Jacob Sprenger: Malleus Maleficarum - The mallet that kills witches

This is certainly one of the few books that marked the life, legislation and legal (ecclesiastical and secular) practice of the European Middle Ages in such a significant way. To this day, it carries the halo of one of the most lucid, but also the darkest products of blind, uncritical faith in certain dogmas, accompanied at the same time with extreme hatred for all those who do not share the same opinion.

Consuming in itself all that was the most cruel, most perfidious and most sinister in the practice of the Inquisition at the time, "Malleus maleficarum" encompassed the complex concept of sorcery, which are worldly courts without any reservation took over from the church inquisition, and this common understanding characterized the entire period of witch persecution, and at the same time crushed the last sporadic cries of common sense.

This work represents the darkest and most perverse anthology of texts of church and philosophical literature ever written about women. On the other hand, it is impossible to escape the impression of the astonishing modernity of this dark book, both because of the current attitude of modern man towards the female sex, and because of the still rather rigid position of the Church on this issue.
