Witchcraft and Inquisition in Early Modern Venice
In early modern Europe, ideas about nature, God, demons and occult forces were inextricably connected and much ink and blood was spilled in arguments over the characteristics and boundaries of nature and the supernatural. Seitz uses records of Inquisition witchcraft trials in Venice to uncover how individuals across society, from servants to aristocrats, understood these two fundamental categories. Others have examined this issue from the points of view of religious history, the history of science and medicine, or the history of witchcraft alone, but this work brings these sub-fields together to illuminate comprehensively the complex forces shaping early modern beliefs.
The Encyclopedia Of Witchcraft & Demonology
With research sourced by the world's greatest libraries, Robbins has compiled a rational, balanced history of 300 years of horror concentrated primarily in Western Europe. Spanning from the 15th century through the 18th century, the witch-hunt frenzy marks a period of suppressed rational thought; never before have so many been so wrong. To better understand this phenomenon, Robbins examines how the meaning of "witch" has evolved and exposes the true nature of witchcraft—a topic widely discussed in popular culture, though remarkably misunderstood. First published in 1959, Robbins' encyclopedia remains the most authoritative and comprehensive body of information about witchcraft and demonology ever compiled in a single volume. Lavishly acclaimed in academic and popular reviews, this full-scale compendium of fact, history, and legend covers about every phase of this fascinating subject from its origins in the medieval times to its last eruptions in the 18th century. Accompanying the text are 250 illustrations from rare books, contemporary prints, and old manuscripts, many of which have been published here for the first time.
El puerto de Dénia y el destierro morisco (1609-1610)
En 1609 se inició por orden de Felipe III el proceso de expulsión de los moriscos valencianos. Esta obra aborda el desarrollo que esta operación tuvo en Denia y el distrito de embarque que le fue asignado por influencia de su señor, el duque de Lerma. Convertida, por número de expulsados y de embarcaciones, en el principal puerto del destierro, y su distrito en el más militarizado debido al estallido de la rebelión de Laguar, la especial significación política y geoestratégica de este enclave es utilizada aquí como punto de partida para el análisis de los principales factores que incidieron en la gestión administrativa, económica y militar del proceso de expulsión. Estos son los ejes fundamentales de un discurso que pretende ofrecer al lector una exposición cronológica detallada de los acontecimientos desarrollados en este espacio.
A Fé dos Juízes
Quem eram os inquisidores portugueses? Como suas práticas judiciais evoluíram ao longo dos quase trezentos anos de existência do Santo Ofício em Portugal? Que fé, que confiança, os inquisidores tinham em seus próprios julgamentos? A fé dos juízes refaz a história da Inquisição portuguesa a partir de um ponto de vista jurídico, das carreiras e das dissensões existentes entre os inquisidores. Vemos que bastante rapidamente muitos de seus membros, geração após geração, deixaram de acreditar na eficácia dos métodos empregados no julgamento dos casos de heresia, e que essas insatisfações são um importante elemento das reformas dos anos 1770. Conta-se assim a história do Santo Ofício português, antes do seu declínio final, a partir daquilo que era o cerne da sua existência: os processos por heresia.
