The Witching Hour
Description:

“Malleus Maleficarum”

In a 2009 translation of Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer’s somewhat influential Malleus Maleficarum (1486), the word sabbath does not occur. A line describing a supposed gathering and using concionem is accurately translated as an assembly. But in the accompanying footnote, the translator seems to apologize for the lack of both the term sabbath and a general scarcity of other gatherings that would seem to fit the bill for what he refers to as a “black sabbath”
