Canon, Islamic & Jewish Law Treatises on LLMC Digital, Including Malleus Maleficarum
Students and scholars of religious law have access to a collection of historical Canon, Islamic and Jewish law treatises through our subscription to LLMC Digital. Part of LLMC Digital’s Special Focus Collections, these treatises include titles in English as well as several foreign languages.
One somewhat well-known title included in the Canon law collection is Malleus Maleficarum, or Hammer of Witches, an infamous treatise on witchcraft. Written in 1494 in Latin by a German clergyman, Malleus Maleficarum covers the concept of witchcraft, the powers of witches, and the process for conducting a witch trial.
