A 1494 Malleus maleficarum

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooooh, sexy! Half a tic, wasn't this written by James 1/IV? In the 1600s? 1494 seems a bit early or was it by another perpetrator?

An unpleasant chap named Kramer. The first edition is 1486. James I/VI had a nasty witch obsession, but didn't write it.

Errrk. Don't know this Kramer bloke - other than Friends I guess and that only by repute.
