Alle 4 Bände

Heinrich Kramer’s ‚Der Hexenhammer‘ is a magnum opus in the realm of witch hunting literature. Published in 1487, this book delves deep into the theological justifications and procedural guidelines for identifying, prosecuting, and executing witches. Written in a rigorous and meticulous style, ‚Der Hexenhammer‘ reflects the paranoia and hysteria surrounding witchcraft during the late medieval period, with detailed descriptions of satanic pacts, spells, and demonic possession. Kramer’s work served as a manual for inquisitors and fueled the European witch hunts of the early modern period. While controversial and oft-criticized for its brutal methods, ‚Der Hexenhammer‘ remains a key text for understanding the history of witch trials and the religious fervor of the time.
