A review by kingjason
The Malleus Maleficarum by Heinrich Kramer, Montague Summers
4.0
I stumbled across a copy of this in a bookshop for £1.50. The copy had some lovely illustrations in it.
The book itself is pretty crazy, just how many women were tortured and killed because of this book beggars belief. I think it was Pope Innocent who commissioned this book and whilst reading it you can really get a sense of their fear of women.
A very dark and disturbing book which is a must read as it is part of our history... it was a few years ago I read it so I may have to do a re-read.
