The Witch's Hammer
"The Catholic inquisition published the book that arguably could be called the most blood-soaked publication in human history. Mallus Maleficarum or The Witch's Hammer - indoctrinated the world to 'the dangers of freethinking women' and instructed clergy how to locate, torture, and destroy them. Those deemed 'witches' by the Church included all female scholars, priestesses, gypsies, mystics, nature lovers, herb gatherers, and any woman "suspiciously attuned to the natural world."
