Malleus Maleficarum

By Kramer and Sprenger

After reading Exeunt Demon King, we dove a bit deeper into the book referenced by Jonathan L. Howard, the Malleus Maleficarum.

According to Wikipedia:

“The Malleus elevates sorcery to the criminal status of heresy and recommends that secular courts prosecute it as such. The Malleus suggests torture to effectively obtain confessions and the death penalty as the only certain remedy against the evils of witchcraft. At the time of its publication, heretics were frequently punished to be burned alive at the stake and the Malleus encouraged the same treatment of witches. The book had a strong influence on culture for several centuries.”

This would explain the idiocy that Johannes Cabal sees in this literary work.
