So when Eisenhorn cries out "I charge thee malleus, and hereby deliver thy sentence" what he's actually saying is "I charge you for that hammer, and here is your bill" ???
In which part did he say "I charge the malleus"? When he was getting his righteos smite on at the very end, he says "In the name of the Holy God-Emporer of Terra, I call thee Diabolus and hereby deliver your sentence". Which makes a lot more sense than calling him a hammer.
I was wondering the same thing. In my copy of
Eisenhorn
, he cries out "Diabolus" not "Malleus." I might be missing the passage, or could it be BL editors tried to fix the mistake of earlier printings?
For the record, I've always subscribed to the
Malleus Maleficarum
/ Hexhammer interpretation of where Ordo Malleus gets its name. So if Eisenhorn did charge someone for that hammer I probably would have noticed... or chalked it up to glossia.
