Question

Both Catholics and Protestants considered the _____ by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger as an authoritative work on _____.

Answer 1

the right answer is the first option. The Malleus Maleficarum was considered one of the most authoritative and compelling sourcebooks for inquisitors, judges, and officers in the incredible black magic abuses from the fifteenth through the eighteenth hundreds of years. It was composed by Heinrich Kramer, driving inquisitors of the Dominican Order; Jacob Sprenger simply joined his name to the sourcebook.  

The book brought old stories and theory about black magic and enchantment together with the new view recognizing black magic with fallen angel adore. That recognizable proof transformed black magic into sin (as opposed to an agnostic confidence) and in this way the best possible worry of the Inquisition. That difference in context prompted the savage and persistent oppression that brought about the passings of several people blamed for rehearsing the religion of black magic, instead of just rehearsing noxious enchantment, which had for quite some time been illicit.
