My research: the Archer-Wizards.

For some time now, I have been involved in a rather obscure and difficult research, that has provided me with very much frustration, few information, and has given birth to more questions than it answers. I am interested in a type of individual that in medieval times was called the "Archer-Wizard". This definition is being mentioned in many medieval literary documents, most of them pertaining to cases of the Inquisition. The Archer-Wizards are also mentioned in the Malleus Maleficarum, as one of the deadliest and most hideous types of magicians. I have been led to believe, and I am fairly certain about this, that these persons have some connection with the mythical beasts known as Centaurs, and accordingly with the constellation of the Sagittarius. However, I have found no explanation or further mention of them in any source I have.

I present my research so far to you, here, because I believe that there might be people who have information about the Archer-Wizards that could help me. If you have any information in mind that seems relevant to you, please take some time to share it with me, by mailing me at octarin@gamebox.net .
