The Malleus Maleficarum is the most famous early modern text on witches and witch hunting. This fully annotated edition is based on the first edition of 1486-7 and presents the Latin text together with a full textual apparatus. The second volume provides the only accurate English translation available, together with detailed explanatory notes. This important edition makes this vital text accessible to historians of the period and offers extraordinary insights into the attitudes and prejudices inspired by the fear of witches.
