Facsimile reprint of the 1928 Rodker edition of The Witches' Hammer. The book is divided into three sections: the first proving that witchcraft or sorcery existed; the second describing the forms of witchcraft; the third the detection, trial, and destruction of witches. Not very original, the book mainly codified existing beliefs and practices with substantial parts taken from earlier works such as Nicolas Eymeric's Directorium Inquisitorium and Johannes Nider's Formicarius.The classic and widely used Roman Catholic text on witchcraft. Although condemned by the Inquisition in 1490 and never officially used by the Church, the Malleus nevertheless set the standard for the next two centuries for interrogating suspected witches. It was compiled by two Dominican inquisitors who submitted the book to the University of Cologne's Faculty of Theology on May 9, 1487, hoping for an endorsement (instead they ended up receiving a condemnation for its use of unethical legal procedures and because its demonology was not consistent with Catholic doctrine). With 13 editions by 1520 the book filled an obvious need for a practical and judicial manual. Widely used throughout Central and Western Europe, though less so in England and the Netherlands, the Malleus was accepted as authoritative by both Catholics and Protestants. From the beginning it was the most influential Renaissance guide for popular witchhunters. The senior author, Kramer, is also often known through the Latin form of his name, Institorius.

The essays are Samuel W. Lambert's "The Initial Letters of the Anatomical Treatise, De Humani Corporis Fabrica, of Vesalius"; Willy Wiegand's "Marginal Notes by the Printer of the Icones"; and William M. Ivins, Jr.'s "What about the Fabrica of Vesalius?" Ivins' 57 page essay—really a monograph—applies Ivins' ideas about the intrinsic, indeed revolutionary, importance of prints being their repeatable exact duplication of visual representations (here called "statements") of objects, a point later elaborated into his classic Prints and Visual Communication.

Previté-Orton's 1928 edtion of the text published by Cambridge University Press, with emendations adopted from Richard Scholz's edition in the Fontes juris Germanici antiqui of the Monumenta Germaniae historica, Hanover, 1932 and from Dino Bigongiari's 1932 review article of the 1928 edition in Speculum.Born in Padua, Marsilius completed his medical studies at the University of Paris, where he became rector in 1312; subsequently he studied theology and completed in 1324 his one notable work, Defensor pacis, which influenced political thought for centuries. In it he developed a social contract theory in which political and legislative power sprang from the will of the people, rather than the Church, for which heretical thinking he was excommunicated by Pope John XXII, forcing him to flee to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria.
