A Hangman's Diary: Being The Journal Of Franz Schmidt, Public Executioner Of Nuremberg, 1573-1617 is a non-fiction book written by Albrecht Keller. The book is a translation of the journal of Franz Schmidt, who was the public executioner of Nuremberg from 1573 to 1617. The journal is a detailed account of Schmidt's life and work, including his methods of execution, the crimes committed by those he executed, and his personal reflections on his job and the people he executed. The book provides an insight into the life of a public executioner during the 16th and 17th centuries, and the social and cultural context in which he worked. It is a fascinating and unique historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
