Now an esoteric of legal and criminal history, A Hangman’s Diary gives a year-by-year breakdown on all of Master Franz Schmidt’s executions, which included hangings, beheadings, and other methods, as well as details of each capital crime and the reason for the punishment.
From 1573 to 1617, Master Franz Schmidt was the executioner for the towns of Bamberg and Nuremberg. During that span, he personally executed more than 350 people while keeping a journal throughout his career.
A Hangman’s Diary is not only a collection of detailed writings by Schmidt about his work but also an account of criminal procedure in Germany during the Middle Ages. With analysis and explanation, editor Albrecht Keller and translators C. Calvert and A. W. Gruner have put together a masterful tome that sets the scene of execution day and puts you in Master Franz Schmidt’s shoes as he does his duty for his country.
An unusual and fascinating classic of crime and punishment, A Hangman’s Diary is more than a history lesson; it shows the true anarchy that inhabited our world only a few hundred years ago.

It’s a very worthy upload, but nothing to lose your head over.

A capital observation, nylon.

Thanks

Thanks for the upload . This book does not really give an insight into the life of the executioner . Quite a bit of it is just a list of people i.e. Master Fred Turnip hung for stealing a black pudding . Still worth a listen but not insight I was expecting .

For more analysis/context. Schmidt’s dad was forced into the profession by chance, & Schmidt spent his 50 yr career trying to restore the social acceptability of his family so that his kids would not have to follow him into the same profession.

This book is fascinating, however, i rated it 3 out of 5 just because there’s a little issue with the audio quality, with the periotic sound of static acting as a mild distraction.
