Abstract
On October 31, 1589, Peter Stumpp was executed as a sorcerer and werewolf. Short pamphlets and print artworks were distributed through-out Germany and into England following Stumpp’s execution making him one of the most infamous werewolves in history. Through discussion of contemporary world events, development in printing technology, and the necessity of public teaching tools, the reason for Stumpp’s infamy becomes clear.
