Erstausgabe
Folio. 129 ff. Rubricated with lombardic initials in red and blue. 19th century white paper boards with printed paper spine label. Stored in custom-made full green morocco gilt clamshell box. Considered unobtainable: the first edition of the notorious "Hammer of Witches", which laid down procedures for finding out and convicting witches. Called one of "the most vicious [.] book[s] in all of world literature" (Jerouschek, 500 Years of the Malleus Maleficarum, xxxi), it is certainly among the most misogynistic texts ever written and provided justification for the murder of tens of thousands of women in medieval Europe. Arguably, no book has been more damaging to the history of women than the Malleus. It "owes much of its notoriety to its infamous diatribe on the female sex. Kramer attempts to establish a direct connection between diabolic witchcraft and women throughout his treatise, and dedicates an entire chapter (Liber 1, Quaestio 6) exclusively to explaining why women are more prone to become witches than are men. In this chapter, he contends that women's nature is weaker than men's not only physically, but also psychologically, intellectually, and morally. Kramer argues that women's lascivious nature and moral and intellectual inferiority are the reasons for their greater proclivity to witchcraft. He [.] claims that the devil takes advantage of women's insatiable lust and inherent propensity to receive the influence of a disembodied spirit in order to harm Christian society" (Herzig, 27f.) While the Malleus was one of the most widespread texts of its time and went through no fewer than thirteen subsequent editions within three decades, complete copies of the first edition are of the utmost rarity, and only a few copies are found in American institutions. According to Rarebookhub, it has appeared at auction only once since 1925 (Sotheby's, Witchcraft and the Occult: Selected Books from the Collection of the late Robert Lenkiewicz, 2003, lot 295). - Upper cover stained and soiled, first three pages of text with some soiling and staining, neat repair to final printed leaf. All in all, a remarkably fine, clean copy. - From the famous Donaueschingen library of the princes of Fürstenberg with their printed spine title and shelfmark "298" on the spine label (repeated in pencil on recto of f. 1). - HC* 9238. Goff I-163. British Library IB.8581 (acquired in 1867 but not recorded in BMC). ISTC ii00163000. Coumont I4.2. Danet 16. Graesse III, 425. T. Herzig, "Witches, Saints, and Heretics: Heinrich Kramer's Ties with Italian Women Mystics", Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft 1 (2006), pp. 24-55.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 4to. a-q8, r10, [17] 137 numbered ll., final blank. Gothic letter, double column, 45 or 46 lines, rubricated initials, underlinings and embellishments in red throughout. Early mss. to t-p in two different hands: first recording Henrico(?) Institoris (Heinrich Kramer) and Iacobo Sprenger with their various titles as co-authors, and the record of gift from the Carthusians near Chemmingen (Hemmingen), in Northern Germany, to a library near Brandenburg. Contemporary marginalia, pages untrimmed. Slight age yellowing and occasional light browning on some leaves, a few small wormholes, largely marginal, mainly on first and last leaves. A very good, clean, well-margined copy in contemporary blind-stamped pig skin over boards, title inked to upper cover and brass clasps (upper partially missing), vellum ms stubs. Light water staining to covers, worming to lower, upper compartment of spine cracked. A splendid copy in original condition of an early edition of this first and radical handbook for the detection and destruction of witches, by the German Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer (or Institor, 1430-1505) and possibly Jacob Sprenger (c.1436-1495), whose co-authorship is still debated. The Hammer of Witches was first printed in 1487, shortly following the 1484 Summis desiderantes affectibus, a famous bull on witchcraft by Pope Innocent VIII acknowledging its spread in Germany and authorising its extirpation. The document can be found at the beginning of this copy, following the author s apologia. The present text became the canon for future secular witch trials, despite its rejection by contemporary inquisitors for its extremism. Overall, 28 editions were produced between 1487 and 1600 and it was used by Protestant and Catholic courts alike. The inclusion of a contents page reveals its purpose as a reference guide and the annotations are evidence of active usage. It laid the foundations for our modern understanding of witches and witchcraft and likely contributed to the sharp rise in witch trials in the coming centuries. In keeping with the contemporary format of canon law and philosophical texts, the treatise is set out as a series of questions and answers, categorised into three distinct parts. The first two [ ] deal with the reality of witchcraft as established by the Bible, etc., as well as its nature and the horrors in dealing with it, while the third lays down practical rules of procedure whether the trial be conducted in an ecclesiastical or secular court (Catholic Encyclopedia). Torture and deception are encouraged as a means to extract confessions. The work stands out as highly misogynistic, condemning witchcraft as worse than heresy, and highlighting female propensity to this type of activity, with fervent interest in the sexual aspects of demonic activity. Among those explored are the sexual relations of incubi and succubae, as well witches ability to convince men of the loss of their genitals. A most important and influential text within the history of witchcraft in a particularly early edition.
