EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of one of the most influential and controversial books in history - "Malleus Maleficarum" (The Hammer of Witches). Authored by Dominicans Jakob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer, this book promoted the real existence of witchcraft heresy during a time when paranoia and fear surrounding witches was at its peak.
Published in 1486, this book delved into the dark world of witchcraft, detailing supposed practices and providing guidance on how to identify and prosecute those accused of being witches. Its influence spread far and wide, shaping perceptions about witchcraft for centuries to come.
Heinrich Kramer's belief in the reality of witches led him to write this tome with fervor, aiming to educate others on what he saw as a very real threat to society. The Malleus Maleficarum became a tool used by authorities to justify the persecution and execution of countless individuals accused of practicing witchcraft.
This print serves as a reminder of a dark chapter in history when superstition reigned supreme, sparking hysteria that resulted in untold suffering for many innocent people. It is a haunting glimpse into a time when fear ruled over reason, leaving behind a legacy that continues to fascinate and horrify us today.
