Joel F. Harrington
During a career lasting nearly half a century, Frantz Schmidt (1554-1634) personally put to death 392 individuals and tortured, flogged, or disfigured hundreds more. All of this was recorded in his journal. Available now in Joel Harrington’s new translation, this fascinating document provides the modern reader with a rare firsthand perspective on the thoughts and experiences of an executioner.
