Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 4to. a-q8, r10, [17] 137 numbered ll., final blank. Gothic letter, double column, 45 or 46 lines, rubricated initials, underlinings and embellishments in red throughout. Early mss. to t-p in two different hands: first recording Henrico(?) Institoris (Heinrich Kramer) and Iacobo Sprenger with their various titles as co-authors, and the record of gift from the Carthusians near Chemmingen (Hemmingen), in Northern Germany, to a library near Brandenburg. Contemporary marginalia, pages untrimmed. Slight age yellowing and occasional light browning on some leaves, a few small wormholes, largely marginal, mainly on first and last leaves. A very good, clean, well-margined copy in contemporary blind-stamped pig skin over boards, title inked to upper cover and brass clasps (upper partially missing), vellum ms stubs. Light water staining to covers, worming to lower, upper compartment of spine cracked. A splendid copy in original condition of an early edition of this first and radical handbook for the detection and destruction of witches, by the German Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer (or Institor, 1430-1505) and possibly Jacob Sprenger (c.1436-1495), whose co-authorship is still debated. The Hammer of Witches was first printed in 1487, shortly following the 1484 Summis desiderantes affectibus, a famous bull on witchcraft by Pope Innocent VIII acknowledging its spread in Germany and authorising its extirpation. The document can be found at the beginning of this copy, following the author s apologia. The present text became the canon for future secular witch trials, despite its rejection by contemporary inquisitors for its extremism. Overall, 28 editions were produced between 1487 and 1600 and it was used by Protestant and Catholic courts alike. The inclusion of a contents page reveals its purpose as a reference guide and the annotations are evidence of active usage. It laid the foundations for our modern understanding of witches and witchcraft and likely contributed to the sharp rise in witch trials in the coming centuries. In keeping with the contemporary format of canon law and philosophical texts, the treatise is set out as a series of questions and answers, categorised into three distinct parts. The first two [] deal with the reality of witchcraft as established by the Bible, etc., as well as its nature and the horrors in dealing with it, while the third lays down practical rules of procedure whether the trial be conducted in an ecclesiastical or secular court (Catholic Encyclopedia). Torture and deception are encouraged as a means to extract confessions. The work stands out as highly misogynistic, condemning witchcraft as worse than heresy, and highlighting female propensity to this type of activity, with fervent interest in the sexual aspects of demonic activity. Among those explored are the sexual relations of incubi and succubae, as well witches ability to convince men of the loss of their genitals. A most important and influential text within the history of witchcraft in a particularly early edition.

Notes: A rare and important edition of the "Malleus Maleficarum," one of the most infamous books in history which became known as the "Bible of witch-hunting". Originally compiled in the late 15th-century by Dominican inquisitors, the Malleus maleficarum (literally, the 'hammer of witches') is perhaps the best known of the earliest treatises on witchcraft. The attribution of Sprenger as a co-author has been disputed. The first printed edition appeared in Strasbourg in 1486. "There can be no doubt that this work had in its day and for a full couple of centuries an enormous influence. The work was of course widely referred to throughout the European witch trials, and this particular edition was issued at a time when the witch-hunts in France, Germany, and Switzerland were still in full swing, and there is no doubt that copies of this printing helped seal the fate of many of the unfortunate accused. There are few demonologists and writers upon witchcraft who do not refer to its pages as an ultimate authority. It was continually quoted and appealed to in witch-trials" (Montague Summers). "It is universally considered as the greatest summa of printed demonological literature " (Mora, George (editor), Witches, Devils, and Doctors in the Renaissance, 1991, pp. 724-5). Norman Douglas described it as "the misogynists' handbook." Cf. Norman 1997; cf. Wellcome 6049. This edition was published in two volumes in 1600 and included not just the "Malleus Maleficarum" but also a collection of other significant demonological texts. The first volume [here offered for sale] comprises the "Malleus Maleficarum" itself, plus extracts from the "Formicarius" of Johannes Nider (originally the second book ever printed to discuss witchcraft). The second companion volume [which is here lacking] contains nine demonological treatises: Bernard Basin, "De artibus magicis ac magorum malificiis"; Ulrich Molitor, "Dialogum de lamiis et pytonicis muliéribus"; Girolamo Menghi, "Flagellum Daemonum"; John Gerson, "De probatione Spirituum"; Thomas Murner, "De Pythonico contractu"; Foelicis Malleoli (Felix Hemmerlin) "Tractatus duos exorcismorum" & "De credulitate Daemonibus adhibenda"; Bartolomeo Spina, "De Strigibus feu Maleficis" & "Apologia quadruplici de Lamiis".
