If you’re interested, the book is complete with an index at the end, but some pages are loose and need to be rebound. There are some little wormholes (as one might expect from a 431 year old book). It still has its original calf leather binding and inside marbled paper. 704 pages plus a 24 page index.

The “Buy It Now” price is $4,298.56 US.

• 1928 Malleus Malerficarum @ eBay

The post 1928 Malleus Maleficarum On eBay appeared first on The Malleus Maleficarum.

According to the owner, this edition was published by John Rodker of London in 1928. There were 1,275 numbered copies in this edition, this book being number 79. Red leatherette at the spine, gilt titling to spine, gilt decoration on front cover, 277 pages with no illustrations. Front hinge is cracked and there is a slight bowing of the boards. Rubbed boards. Tight binding. Rough uncut fore edge pages as called for.

None of us can afford original editions of the Malleus Maleficarum. They’re scattered about the world in museums and private collections. But here’s an opportunity to own at least the first English translation of the work. A more accurate translation has since been published by Dr. Christopher Mackay, but the Summers translation will always bear a historical significance.

We’re not known for posting information about eBay sales, to say the least, but I thought this once I would mention that there is a 1520 Latin edition of the Malleus Maleficarum for sale on eBay. The book is the “Fifteenth edition, Third Cologne printing”, and is the only 16th century edition of the Malleus currently available for sale. WorldCat lists only 8 copies of this edition in U.S. libraries.

I thought I would mention this. Anyone who is interested in the Malleus Maleficarum would no doubt find this eBay sale intriguing. Especially given the number of excellent photographs that were posted. If you want to see what a 16th century edition of the Malleus Maleficarum looks like, this is a wonderful opportunity.

For my own part, I’m going to watch this auction. It will be most interesting to see who bids on this volume, what the winning bid will be, and who the winning bidder is. Hopefully it will fall into the hands of a museum that can properly take care of the work.
