	James Sprenger Information
		James (or Jacob/Jakob/Jacobus) Sprenger was born in Basel between 1436 and 1438.
		He was admitted as a novice in the Dominican house of this town in 1452.
		A work from 1719 reports that Sprenger was known in the Dominican house for "his burning and fearless zeal for the old faith, his vigilance, his constancy, his singleness and patience in correcting novel abuses and errors." In 1486 he collaborated with Heinrich Kramer to write the Malleus Maleficarum.

	Pope Innocent VIII
		Pope Innocent VIII (1484-92) was moved by the compaints of two Dominican Inquisitors, Heinrich Krämer and Jacob Sprenger, that local ecclesiastical authorities in Germany refused to aid them in their pursuit of heretical witchcraft.
		Sprenger and Krämer described some of their cases to the pope and elicited from him the famous Bull called, from its opening Latin words, Summis desiderantes.
		The similarity in terminology of this and earlier papal documents, its particular emphasis upon preaching, and its lack of dogmatic pronouncement on the subject of witchcraft place it squarely in the tradition of papal concern for heresy and disbelief.

	Marge's Maze
		John Abraham SPRENGER and Elisabeth LAUER came from the small villages of Albersweiler and Gleisweiler, die Pfalz, Germany, in 1821.
		The J. Sprenger family set up housekeeping and a butcher shop in a log haus at 3rd and Cherry in Reading, PA, (now restored and reconstituted as a charming restaurant) where they were able to receive Elisabeth's parents and siblings who followed in 1823.
		The LAUERs established several breweries in and around Reading, and the Sprengers moved on to Lancaster, PA. In addition to breweries, the hardy J. Abraham presented the world with at least 16 children in addition to the one Elisabeth was carrying on her trip to America.

	The Malleus Maleficurm
		The Dominican monks Heinrich Kraemer and Jacob Sprenger wrote the Malleus Maleficarum or "The Witches' Hammer" in 1485.
		Kraemer and Sprenger not only wrote about the history of Witchcraft, but they also gave their opinion on why women were more likely to become the Devil's helpers than men were.
		Kraemer and Sprenger also wrote that because women were jealous of men's superior physical strength that they turned to the Devil for supernatural powers to make them strong.

	Jacob Sprenger \| English \| Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
		A work from 1719 reports that Sprenger was known in the Dominican house for "his burning and fearless zeal for the old faith, his vigilance, his constancy, his singleness and patience in correcting novel abuses and errors." Contrary to popular opinion, Sprenger is not the co-author of the Malleus Maleficarum.
		Sprenger was not interested in witches at all and cannot be linked to a single witch trial.
		His personal relationship to Kramer was acrimonious and Sprenger used his powerful position whenever he could to make Kramer’s life and work as difficult as possible.

	Who Burned the Witches?
		Its authors, Jacob Sprenger and Heinrich Kraemer, were experienced Dominican inquisitors who had burned 48 witches in one diocese alone and had obtained a papal bull approving their mission.
		Sprenger and Kraemer exhorted secular authorities to fight witches by any means necessary.
		Not only did Sprenger's image of women as the more lustful and malicious sex generate suspicions; the fact that women had a lower social status than men made them easier to accuse.

	To Prevent a "Shipwreck of Souls": Johann Weyer and "De Praestigiis Daemonum." Elisa Slattery
		Witchcraft was seen as a combination of harmful magic and heresy in which the witch willingly renounced the Christian faith and made a pact with the devil in exchange for sexual satisfaction and powers which would allow her to perform maleficia.
		Like Institoris and Sprenger, Weyer saw the devil as a master of illusions, an expert at obfuscating the truth, but he questioned the immense physical capabilities with which they imbued the devil.
		Weyer argued strongly for the limits placed on the devil's behavior by natural laws which he defined as "the measure and order established by God."11 According to Weyer, the devil had physical powers carefully limited by God, and the duty of a good observer was to discover what the devil could and could not do.

		Walt was one of seven of Catharine Leidy Sprenger's 11 pregnancies that survived.

		Der Malleus gehört einem durch die theologisch-kanonistische Schule entwickelten Literaturzweig an, der in einer ganzen Reihe von Traktaten die noch verbliebenen Zweifel an dem neuen Sammelbegriff, insbesondere an der Existenz der neuen Hexensekte zu zerstreuen und die Realität des von der Inquisition entwickelten Begriffs darzulegen sucht.
		Wie Sprenger und Institoris selbst gestehen, ist es ihr eigentliches Bestreben, den weltlichen Arm in erster Linie mit dem Hexenprozeß zu beschäftigen, die geistliche Jurisdiktion dagegen von diesem zu befreien.

	Witchhunters
		In 1486, Sprenger and Kramer published their Malleus Maleficarum, "A Hammer for Witches," which quickly became the "bible," the official handbook, of professional witch hunters.
		The Bible clearly told the account of how certain angels fell from heaven and sought to bewitch and seduce humans, and Sprenger and Kramer issued a strict warning that to believe otherwise was to believe contrary to the true faith.
		Williams believed that Sprenger and Kramer proceeded with great care in the Malleus Maleficarum to examine the nature of witchcraft and to analyze the best methods of operating against its menace.

	Witch Powers as Rhetorical Device
		But not until the practice of magic was situated in a dualistic religious cosmology of warfare between God and his arch-enemy the devil did community concerns about the practice of magic evolve into the desperate, sadistic trials that occurred in the 16th and 17th centuries.
		Long before Kramer and Sprenger asserted their strange claim, woman was already firmly associated in Christian discourse with themes of sin, danger, sensuality, and transgression.
		When Kramer and Sprenger assert that certain women--witches--can take away the male member, their claim derives both meaning and persuasive force from the constellation of meanings they inherit from mainstream Christian discourse.

	The Malleus Maleficarum (review)
		When they were finished writing, Sprenger presented the Malleus to the Faculty, asking for its approval.
		It said that the legal procedures it recommended were unethical and illegal, and that its demonology was not consistent with Catholic doctrine.
		Kramer and Sprenger parted on bad terms, and the Inquisition condemned Kramer in 1490, just four years after the Malleus was published.

		The unrelenting thoroughness of Krämer and Sprenger served, in a sense, to sum up the entire history of recent witch-beliefs and to present Christian Europe with a complete, persuasive, massively documented, and duly authorized description of the witches in its midst.

	What is the Origin of the Term Rosary?
		Jacob Sprenger founded around 1475 an even more famous one in Cologne.
		Alain's rosary consisted of 150 Aves reflecting the Psalter, and was subdivided in three groups of 50 each, following the three fundamental mysteries of Christ's Incarnation (Joyful mysteries), Passion (sorrowful mysteries), and Resurrection (Glorious mysteries).
		Latin languages gave preference to "serto" or "capelleto." The papal bull of 1478 used the term "rosario." Jacob Sprenger's German rosary manual of 1476 also used the word rosary.

		To the extent that it refers to theology elaborating the meaning of sacred texts, demonology is an orthodox branch of theology.
		The most extensive statement of western Christian demonology[?] is the Malleus Maleficarum of Jacob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer, which attempted to prove that the existence and power of witchcraft were an integral part of the Roman Catholic faith.
		In another sense, demonology refers to catalogues that attempt to name and set a hierarchy to evil spirits.

		Witchcraft, the practice of harmful magic, was believed to have existed since the middle of the fifteenth century, and by the middle of the seventeenth century, the scientific and natural views on life occurrences had begun to come into play as well.
		Rene Descartes wrote his Discourse on Method, the basic idea of scientific theory to explain things, in 1637, while Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger wrote The Malleus Maleficarum, the basic ideas of witchcraft, in 1486.
		Witchcraft had been in existence a lot longer than scientific theory, but it began to be overshadowed by the new ideas presented by the elite class of the seventeenth century.

		The inability of witches to weep was widely accepted by the people at large, but disapproved of by most of the clergy as mere superstition.
