In the year 1486, the clergyman Heinrich Kramer published the most popular medieval text about witchcraft, the Malleus Maleficarum. It wasn't received very well at first, and in fact the author ended up getting chased out of Austria. After his book was published, he tried to start his own witch hunt in the town of Innsbruck and was kicked out by the local Bishop.
