-
What was the Spanish coat (also Schandmantel) that a criminal had to wear walking down town roads? What punishments were used in Russia at the beginning of the 19th century? What did the hot iron trial by ordeal look like - Medieval method of determining whether one was guilty or not? What does the treatise Hammer of Witches published in Krakow in 1614 refer to? We try to find answers to these and many more questions in the old books presented at the exhibition related to the broad topic of law, guilt, and punishment.
