  Malleus Maleficarum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Despite popular belief that the Malleus Maleficarum was the classic Roman Catholic text on witchcraft, it was never officially used by the Catholic Church and was, in fact, condemned by the Inquisition in 1490.
The Malleus Maleficarum was originally prefaced by the papal bull Summis desiderantes issued by Pope Innocent VIII on December 5, 1484, the main papal document on witchcraft.
The sexism of the Malleus can’t be denied; the clerics’ belief that women were inferior, weak, and easily corruptible creatures is emphasized often throughout the writing.

 Malleus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The malleus is hammer-shaped small bone or ossicle of the middle ear which connects with the incus and is attached to the inner surface of the eardrum.
The malleus is unique to mammals, and evolved from a lower jaw bone in reptiles called the articular.

 The Malleus Maleficarum
The Malleus Maleficarum (The Witch Hammer), first published in 1486, is arguably one of the most infamous books ever written, due primarily to its position and regard during the Middle Ages.
The authors of the Malleus addressed those voices in no uncertain terms, stating: “Whether the Belief that there are such Beings as Witches is so Essential a Part of the Catholic Faith that Obstinacy to maintain the Opposite Opinion manifestly savours of Heresy.” The immediate, and lasting, popularity of the Malleus essentially silenced those voices.
The lasting effect of the Malleus upon the world can only be measured in the lives of the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and even children, who suffered, and died, at the hands of the Inquisitors during the Inquisition.

The Malleus Maleficarum is indeed one of the most influential Witch-hunting manuals of all times.

 Gendering Witchcraft, Endangering Women: The Malleus Maleficarum and Women In Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Kramer and Sprenger wrote The Malleus Maleficarum, an Inquisitors manual that was the culmination of the literature on witches that had begun to appear in greater numbers by 1427.
The Malleus, emphasizing the idea that all women are (or can certainly be made to appear) witches, also uses the words woman and witch interchangeably at certain points in the text, and a description of the actions of witches is often later described as the actions of women overall.
This second defect is also given as a reason why "nearly all the kingdoms of the world have been overthrown by women."40 The destruction of cities and empires caused by Helen of Troy, Jezebel and her daughter Athliah of Judah, and Cleopatra of Egypt are all given as examples of this theory of political causation.

 Malaspina Great Books - Malleus Maleficarum (c. 1484)
The Malleus Maleficarum ("The Hammer of Witchcraft") was the classic witch-hunters manual, published in 1487.
Probably the most disastrous episode was the publication a year or two later, by the same inquisitors, of the book "Malleus Maleficarum" (the hammer of witches).
But the Malleus professed (in part fraudulently) to have been approved by the University of Cologne, and it was sensational in the stigma it attached to witchcraft as a worse crime than heresy and in its notable animus against the female sex.
