Has anyone here read the Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of the Witches)

It is an English translation of a document sent down by the Pope (in Medieval times) about how to identify and treat "witches".
It is quite an interesting glimpse into the mindset of the church at the time. A good part of it is about woman being the source of all evil in the world.

I highly recommend it although I was never sure whether to laugh or cry at some of the beliefs of the church (of the time).

I like the Monty Python version of how to identify a witch.  But that's another post.
