		However, the start of the witch craze proper is usually dated to the issuing of the Papal bull Summis desiderantes affectibus by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484, which officially reversed the Canon Episcopi in affirming that witches genuinely had magical powers conferred on them by the Devil.
		To the Church, however, the definition of a witch, after the publication of the bull Summis desiderantes affectibus (1484) was rather different.
		Nor was it lost on staunch Protestants such as Scot and Ady that whereas the decisions of the Council of Ancyra belonged to the Primitive Church and were acceptable to all Christians, the new doctrine was an invention of the hated Papacy.

	The Malleus Maleficarum: Part One \| Progressive U
		According to Montaque Summers, author of the 1928 Malleus Maleficarum of Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger, the text was the response of the authors, Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger, to Pope Innocent VIII, who in December of 1484 wrote the papal bull “Summis desiderantes”.
		According to Gibbson, Kramer was the main author of the Malleus and during the period of its writing was held in low regard by his fellows.
		According to her research, the Pope wrote the papal bull “Summis desiderantes” at the request of Heinrich Kramer who, by all accounts, wanted to gain more authority and notoriety amongst the other Inquisitors and clergymen of the time (n.d).

	Malleus Maleficarum - Introduction of 1928 Edition
		It has been necessarily thus briefly to review this important series of Papal documents to show that the famous Bull Summis desiderantes affectibus, 9 December, 1484, which Innocent VIII addressed to the authors of the Malleus Maleficarum, is no isolated and extraordinary document, but merely one in the long and important record of Papal utterances.
		The Summis desideranted affectibus is either a dogmatic exposition by Christ's Vicar upon earth or it is altogether abominable.
		By its appearance in a standard work of reference, which is on the shelves of every library, this article upon Witchcraft”; acquires a certain title to consideration which upon its merits it might otherwise lack.

		It was compiled by two Dominican friars, Jacob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer,; and prefaced by the papal bull Summis desiderantes that had been issued by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484.
		But this confusion between sorcery and a particular form of heresy was unfortunately bound to bring a still larger number of persons under the jealous scrutiny of the inquisitors.
		It will be readily understood from the foregoing that the importance attached by many older writers to the Bull, "Summis desiderantes affectibus", of Pope Innocent VIII (1484),; as though this papal document were responsible for the witch mania of the two succeeding centuries, is altogether illusory.

	"WITCHCRAFT"
		The ecclesiastical crusade against witchcraft, which lasted for several hundred years, and which is said to have caused the death of from three hundred thousand to several million of persons (according to various estimates), may be said to have had its beginning in the bull issued by Alexander IV December 13, 1258.
		This was followed in the 14th century by a bull issued by John XXII, and on December 7, 1484, Pope Innocent VIII issued the bull entitled, "Summis desiderantes affectibus".
		By the authority of this bull, inquisitors were appointed, among them one named Sprenger, who five years later assisted in publishing the work, "Malleus Maleficarum," or "Hexenhammer".
