When we think about hysterical witch hunts and the fury of a frenzied mob, our thoughts go to the events in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. However, if one really wants to see where hatred and fear of witchcraft begins, one need only look at German history. While those suspected of witchcraft had been persecuted across the Holy Roman Empire as early as the 12th and 13th centuries, things really didn’t kick off until the publication of the Malleus Maleficarum, or ‘Hammer of Witches’ in 1487.
Andrea Fachinei (1549 – 1609) was an Italian jurist and professor of law at Ingolstadt. His principle work is Jurisconsulti Foroliviens. He became counsel for the Dukes of Bavaria before he took his position at the University of Ingoldstadt.
