Inquisition, Heresy and Witchcraft. The Witch Hammer

Demonology is a specific literary genre that explains all aspects of the relationships that exist between Satan and his demons on one side, and human beings on the other. The book The Witch Hammer is precisely about this. In 1932, the Russian translation was published by the Atheist publishing house. Today, it is being republished again and again, but there are no direct answers to many questions, despite the fact that the fame of The Witch Hammer is now much higher than in the times when it was published, and the title of this treatise has long entered mass culture.

There is clearly a lack of a book in Russian about how this text is structured, why it was written, how it was received, and where it was prevalent.

Grigory Bakus, a medieval historian, an expert in medieval demonology, and the author of the book you hold in your hands, will explain in detail and clearly to the reader about The Witch Hammer, its history, and how it influenced the lives of many people.
