Talk:Heinrich Kramer

Name spelling
Regarding the proper name for Kramer, are you sure that Institoris is incorrect? I checked library of Congress, and they list "Heinrich Institoris" as the accepted authority record. 17 June 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.205.82.30 (talk) 14:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In reading the German edition of Schopenhauer's
 * On the Will in Nature, in the "Animal Magnetism and Magic" chapter, near the end, I see his name spelled "Heinrich Institoris."Lestrade (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

Jenny Gibbons
I'm finding the reference to a book review by Jenny Gibbons a bit bizarre. To begin with she publishes in pagan and wiccan websites almost exclusively and has no academic paper trail whatsoever that I can find.

I'm removing a catholic apologist biased section regarding an official church and inquisitorial condemnation of Malleus. Not only such argument is just based in their websites but the sources and references posted didn't support what's exposed; after almost 3 years I got Hans Peter Broede's "The Malleus Maleficarum and the construction of witchcraft" and there isn't a single combination of the book in the references posted; what you have, instead, was a reference of the bishop complaining on the troubles Kramer did at Innsbruck, especially referring to the existence of many love-sorceries due to adultery in the city. I will correct this article, Splenger's one and finally the article of Malleus. I shall post what those books actually say in their given references.

Literally?
A literal translation of Malleus Maleficarum would be "Hammer of evil-doer", not "Hammer of witches". Itsbruce (talk) 14:09, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * for a 'hammer' he didn't seem to have much success - nowhere does the article state he ever condemned and burned/hung any witches ... 50.111.58.135 (talk) 13:42, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
