This work was heavily influenced by Institoris's activities as inquisitor in Ravensburg in 1484 and Innsbruck in 1485. This volume contains the only complete translations of a large number of documents pertaining to these inquisitions, and is a companion to a new (and the only complete) edition of these texts, which shed much light on the composition of the Malleus Maleficarum in general".Studies in Central European histories ;Volume 67.WitchcraftEarly works to 1800DemonologyEarly works to 1800WitchcraftDemonology272.2Mackay Christopher S.1962-1633192MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816069503321An unusual inquisition4118839UNINA
