Tonight we’re burning books! Well. Just one book. And it started it.
We’re opening the pages of the “Malleus Maleficarum”, or Hammer of Witches, a 15th-century treatise on identifying, trying, and punishing witches. We get into the origins of the book and its misogynistic zealot of an author, Heinrich Kramer.
I’m not saying Kramer's obsession with women's sexuality and his book's endorsement of torture and execution led directly to the deaths of tens of thousands of women… but it definitely found an enthusiastic audience among the people who were responsible for massive witch hunts. On tonight’s episode, we’ll also talk about the tumultuous socio-political landscape of early modern Europe, exploring the theories behind this devastating moral panic.
And we’re not done discussing the ways Kramer’s legacy has echoed throughout history. Join me next week right here for part two – the “Malleus Maleficarum” and the incels.
