Secrets of the Inquisition. Medieval processes about witches. Kramer G., Sabatini R., Kantorovich Ya.A.

From time immemorial, witchcraft scared and at the same time fascinated people: since ancient times they wrote spells, turning them to the gods, believed in witches and searched for them among their own neighbors, tried to protect themselves from the influence of the supernatural. But how to recognize the sorcerer who concluded a deal with the devil? How did the witches and punished the witches throughout history? And what role in the fight against demonic forces did the cruel Spanish Inquisition played, at the head of which Thomas de Torquemada stood? This book opens the reader the door to the gloomy, harsh world of the late Middle Ages and the early New Age, full of superstitions, midnight horrors, witchcraft rites and bonfires of the Inquisition.

The collection contains three cult works dedicated to these and other issues of the history of hunting Witches: “Witch's Hammer” by G. Kramer and J. Sprenger, “Processes on Witchcraft in Europe and the Russian Empire” by Y. Kantorovich and “Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition” by R. Sabatini.
