So, I'm building a personal religious library...

For Islam, you should get the collected works of Sahih Bukhari, and Muslim. As well as the writings Imam Abu Hanifa, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali and Jafar.

Oh something else about the Talmud and Q’uran. Every Islamic group I know of disapproves very strongly of translating the Q’uran. It may be difficult to find a copy in anything but old Arabic. I’ve been looking for a good translation of the Talmud for years. I’m often told that an English version simply does not exist.

I don’t know about the Talmud. But for the Quran there are hundereds of translations and hell even Penguin bookshas a version.

Malleus Maleficarum (Latin for “Hammer of the Witches.”) An unpleasant little tome, with instructions on how to conduct an inquisition. I’ve got it in my personal religious library, but, to be honest, I’ve never actually read it.

(As I understand it, it warns against using torture to coerce confessions, noting that such confessions would likely be uttered simply to stop the torture. This is something the real Inquisition never worried much about.)
