A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

This new edition corrects Summers' mistakes, renders the text into readable English, offers a clearer understanding of the original If you want to understand the religious and psychological mindset that created the horrors of the witch hunts then this is essential reading. --The Cauldron

English readers dissatisfied with the infelicities of Montague Summers's 1928 edition and who cannot afford the translation by Christopher Mackay, will be well served by Maxwell-Stuart's readable abridgement, and his substantial introduction. --Canon Michael Perry, Church Times

P. G. Maxwell-Stuart would seem to be an excellent choice to provide an edited translation of the Malleus Maleficarum, possessing as he does the necessary linguistic skills and an unrivalled knowledge of late medieval and early modern magical texts. His translation is deft and supported by sound scholarship. --James Sharpe, THES
