Between 1450-1750, one of the greatest "gendercide" took place throughout Europe. An estimated number of 60,000 witches died during this period, Germany being one of the centres for this persecution, killing more than 48% of its witches. Malleus maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches, 1485-86) was the greater impulse for this hunting.
