DRAFT DRAFT<br />

Editor’s Note<br />

“DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW”<br />

<strong>The</strong> motivation behind this undertaking stems from the needs of the Occult Sciences<br />

to have an adequate, albeit incomplete, typeset copy of the <strong>Malleus</strong> <strong>Maleficarum</strong>, both as<br />

an accessible historical resource and to know some of the ongoings that History reveals<br />

when dogma enters the realms of Individual Freedom, effectively suffocating the Human<br />

Experience to be nothing but a shell—a Qlipphotic piece of excremental waste. It is thus my<br />

ethical duty and honor to make sure in this Digital Age we have as complete a version of the<br />

<strong>Malleus</strong> <strong>Maleficarum</strong> possible: translators credited rightfully so are included in this digital<br />

document. I chose to offer my LaTeX skills to reduce the over 700 page html version down<br />

to 431 pages currently. As the completion of the translation comes to its culmination, so to<br />

will this PDF version. Regarding the use of SMALLCAPS and Italic glyph enhancements, I<br />

have made the concerted effort to make it clear that all DEIFIC references, in all Religions<br />

cited, are in smallcaps and that Latin, Greek, Germanic and other languages cited in italic.<br />

Also, I have italicized the references to Saints.<br />

I have taken the liberty of structurally combining passages to give it a more readable<br />

presentation, so if any part of this tomb seems to drain your eyes feel free to send me feedback<br />

and I will be sure to address those issues and when it seems to make sense modify<br />

the layout and produce the changes in subsequent revisions. I also took it upon myself to<br />

apply all footnotes to their proper place—at the foot of the page noted—replacing the need<br />

for a separate web page for each footnote. This leads to a much more readable publication.<br />

All typos, and other extraneous grammatical errors are welcomed critiques and will be included<br />

in subsequent revisions to reflect a more correct edition. I have also taken the liberty<br />

to utilize small cap font substitution with the Palatino Type 1 Font that Adobe recognizes<br />

within Adobe Acrobat Reader. For Linux KPDF, GPDF and XPDF all recognize this font<br />

via LaTeX as mathpazo (Palatino Family glyph). <strong>The</strong> version of PDF included is Acrobat<br />

Writer PDF 1.4 compliant.<br />
