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 interr ogating 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 une thical 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.

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 poli tical 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 hi m to flee to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria.
