I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the Malleus Maleficarum?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Besides mysticism, belief in witches and witchcraft became widespread, and by the late 15th century the Church had begun to lend credence to populist fears of witchcraft with its condemnation of witches in 1484 and the publication in 1486 of the Malleus Maleficarum, the most popular handbook for witch-hunters.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
