I have a sudden strong desire to read a translated version of Malleus Maleficarum. I'm sure the writing itself will prove to be difficult in that it's exceedingly boring in the manner only a textbook could compare - seriously, who writes that way? - but the subject matter should prove interesting enough.
Alright, I know that the beliefs written in those pages were not common belief, but it did hold some weight during the Burning Trials. Perhaps not in the beginning, but later on. And Kramer must have been off his rocker, particularly since the book is said to be heavily misogynist. That last bit just makes me want to read it all the more. How ridiculous could the accustaions get? The logic must be astounding.
I would never buy the damn thing, that's for sure. I wouldn't want to waste my money on it seeing as how I'd already be wasting my time.
As things stand now, I have a few new books I've yet to complete/start, so I can wait a while longer before seeking the desired text.
*salues* Carry on.
