Treatise on the identification, prosecution and punishment of witches written by the Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer (Institoris), with Jakob Sprenger named as co-author, first printed in the 1480s. It is a primary historical source for the European witch persecutions, not a work of practical magic. This record gathers early Latin printings digitized by the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Library of Congress; a Spanish translation is also held in the archive.
