The late mediaeval and early modern periods were marked by a widespread fear of witchcraft and the subsequent persecution of individuals, primarily women, who were accused of being not only witches, but those who went as far as to copulate with the devil himself. The "Malleus Maleficarum" played a significant role in promoting and legitimising such persecution. After being spearheaded by infamous inquisitors Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger, the text, often referred to as the "Hammer of Witches," was used as a manual for witch-hunters, providing them with instructions on identifying, interrogating, and punishing witches in the 15th century.
