DA INQUISIÇÃO À CAÇA ÀS BRUXAS, DA CAÇA ÀS BRUXAS AOS SONHOS DE CONTROLO DO "CHEFE MÁXIMO" (a imaginação da espécie é limitada, século após século, sempre o mesmo)

"The Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for "The Hammer of Witches", or "Der Hexenhammer" in German) is a famous treatise on witches, written in 1486 by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger, two Inquisitors of the Catholic Church, and was first published in Germany in 1487. The main purpose of the Malleus was to attempt to systematically refute arguments claiming that witchcraft does not exist, discredit those who expressed skepticism about its reality, to claim that witches were more often women than men, and to educate magistrates on the procedures that could find them out and convict them".

Malleus Maleficarum (approach this book with caution; it is soaked in human blood!)
