  • Been thinking of getting this book.  How accurate is it exactly? I also heard that the Spanish Inquisition banned it for whatever reason, is that true?
    Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.

  • Yes, I've owned Malleus Maleficarum for many years, it's a strong read.
    You will find it interesting and convincing. The theology pulls
    no punches. I recommend it. Another book on witchcraft
    I recommend is The History of Witchcraft by Montague Summers.

    here is a good essay about the Spanish Inquisition which
    goes contrary to what most have been taught.
