Answer 1

The 1486 book intended to guide the prosecution of witches was titled 'Malleus Maleficarum'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1486, a book titled Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches) was published, intended as a guide for hunting, interrogating, and prosecuting witches. This book, written by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger, played a significant role in the witch hunts that escalated in the 16th and 17th centuries throughout Europe. The book asserts the reality of witchcraft, describes how to identify a witch, and endorses the torture and punishment of those suspected of witchcraft.

In the whole of the literature pertaining to witchcraft, it is probably the most prominent and important work, crystallizing into a fiercely stringent code previous folklore about black magic and church dogma on heresy. The date of the first edition was around 1486 and the work is still in print today.
