Malleus maleficarum / translated with an introduction, bibliography and notes by the Rev. Montague Summers.

Kraemer, Heinrich, -1508., Jacob Sprenger, Montague Summers, Heinrich Kramer · 1928 · [London] : J. Rodker, 1928. · 1 picture

A 1928 London translation by Montague Summers of the 15th-century witch-hunting manual Malleus maleficarum, attributed to Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger, and published by J. Rodker for a scholarly and collecting readership. The single plate is a formal engraved portrait of a robed churchman in profile, hands clasped in prayer, beneath a papal coat of arms and a Latin caption, set in a plain ruled frame with a lot of blank paper, offering a designer a restrained model for a dignified historical portrait layout with caption strip.
