I'm tired of people talking about metaphorical witch hunts. Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger, Inquisitors and authors of this episode's book, had a much better idea. The Malleus Maleficarum (translated as 'The Hammer of the Witches) is a witchhunting manual, first published in 1486, in part because Kramer led an unsuccessful Inquisition in Innsbruck, where he was prevented from condemning a number of women to death. Rather than learn from his mistakes, Kramer doubled down and wrote a 700-page tome about why basically every woman is probably a witch, and why they should be executed.
If the combination of rabid misogyny and wonky scholastic philosophy sounds like fun (or not), then listen on.
