Summary Of The Witches Hammer

207 Words1 Pages
The Witches Hammer is known as Malleus Maleficarum. This is a book written by Heinrich Kramer and James Sperger. This book was written as a guidebook on prosecuting witches. Kramer believed that all woman witches were out to harm all that followed the Christian faith. This harm was meant for the men of the Christian faith. This book outlined how to identify witchcraft and what torture was appropriate for getting someone to confess that they were a witch. Most of the people who were persecuted during this period were innocent women. This was due to the hatred Kramer had for women. Kramer also used this book to frame people for being witches. The book was based on a quote from the Christian bible that states thou shall not suffer a witch to live.
