Moreover, religious affiliation became the major cause for deceit; and perhaps all the more unexpected, Muslim, Jewish and Christian theo- logians, together with certain lay moralists, were openly condoning subterfuge and justifying the ‘honest lie’ (on the history of attitudes to lying and dissimulation in Christendom and among humanists, see below the essays by Michael Bailey and Vincenzo Lavenia). As the bibliography to this volume amply demonstrates, many his- torians in recent decades have become captivated by the widespread phenomenon of imposture and pretence in the early modern world. Montaigne’s observation that ‘dissimulation is one of the most notable qualities of this century’1 has become a motto for many a scholarly study of the various manifestations of deception in that period. Discussions of deceit are to be found in innumerable sixteenth- and seventeenth- century texts: endorsements of self- fashioning and sprezzatura on the way to becoming the ideal courtier; either condemnations or justifica- tions of religious dissimulation; discussions of ‘discernment of spirits’ in dealing with the multitude of possession cases, or of stigmatics and other aspiring saints; as well as fulminations against cross- dressing and crossing class boundaries, whether by dressing up and putting on airs, or by dressing down by people trying to pass for legitimate beggars. Special institutions and bureaucratic machineries were then set up to unmask impostors of all kinds, and trial records – of both ecclesiastical and secular courts – reveal that the early modern obsession with false identities emerged from repeated confirmations that an ever growing number of individuals were not who they claimed to be. 1 Copyrighted material – 978–1–137– 44748–7 Copyrighted material – 978–1–137– 44748–7 2 Miriam Eliav-Feldon A few of these exposed impostors attained lasting fame thanks to sensationalist printed reports at the time and to latter- day studies: from royal pretenders in England, Portugal or Russia to peasants such as Martin Guerre, from cross- dressers such as Catalina de Erauso, the ‘Lieutenant Nun’,2 to false visionaries such as Benedetta Carlini,3 from arch- heresiarchs who, like David Joris,4 succeeded for decades in evad- ing exposure, to poor and obscure crypto- Jews whose autos- da- fé were grand public spectacles. The panic that arose among early modern authorities who felt that too many people were not who they claimed to be, generated in turn a search for reliable means of identification – with unsatisfactory results from the authorities’ point of view.5 However, perplexity concerning the veracity or falsehood as to who or what a person claimed to be afflicted not only pre- modern minds, frustrating inquisitors, judges and princes. Despite great efforts made by quite a few historians, and despite modern- day psychological insights, we still remain baffled in very many cases, even – or perhaps all the more so – when the person in question left an ‘ ego- document’ for posterity, as in the case of Alvisa Zambelli, analysed in Adelisa Malena’s essay in this volume, or as in the famous case of Benvenuto Cellini and his fanciful autobiography.6 In fact, as most of the contributors to this volume emphasise, since we are unequipped nowadays with the necessary divine gift, we are not very successful in ‘discernment of spirits’ and thus the ‘true’ identity of our historical protagonists continues to evade us. Out of the multiple facets of deceit and counterfeit identities, the chapters below discuss three types of cases which exhibit the com- plexity of separating the genuine from the fraudulent: first, religious dissimulation; second, pretence to direct communication with the oth- erworldly (holiness as well as witchcraft and demonic possession); and third, offers of contact with or knowledge about distant lands. Religious dissimulation, meaning inwardly or secretly adhering to one confession while outwardly practising another, was by far the most extensive form of identity forgery: first mostly by conversos and Moriscos in the Iberian Peninsula, and after the Reformation through- out Central and Western Europe by all manner of Christians who refused to accept the ‘cuius regio, eius religio’ principle. This very wide field has been discussed by now in an enormous corpus of scholarly works. Those men and women who chose dissimulation over martyr- dom or exile, have been dubbed ‘two faced’ by their contemporaries and ‘divided souls’7 or ‘hybrid identities’ by modern- day scholars, and by and large the assumption was that they had remained staunchly Copyrighted material – 978–1–137– 44748–7 Copyrighted material – 978–1–137– 44748–7 Introduction 3 faithful to one confession while reluctantly masquerading obedience to another.

    EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY: LAW AND AUTHORITY IN THE MAKING OF THE OVERSEAS BRITISH EMPIRE, 1576-1640 By KENNETH RICHARD MACMILLAN, M.A. A Thesis . Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by Kenneth Richard MacMillan, December 2001 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2001) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Expressions of Sovereignty: Law and Authority in the Making of the Overseas British Empire, 1576-1640 AUTHOR: Kenneth Richard MacMillan, B.A. (Hons) (Nipissing University) M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Professor J.D. Alsop NUMBER OF PAGES: xi, 332 11 ABSTRACT .~. ~ This thesis contributes to the body of literature that investigates the making of the British empire, circa 1576-1640. It argues that the crown was fundamentally involved in the establishment of sovereignty in overseas territories because of the contemporary concepts of empire, sovereignty, the royal prerogative, and intemationallaw. According to these precepts, Christian European rulers had absolute jurisdiction within their own territorial boundaries (internal sovereignty), and had certain obligations when it carne to their relations with other sovereign states (external sovereignty). The crown undertook these responsibilities through various "expressions of sovereignty". It employed writers who were knowledgeable in international law and European overseas activities, and used these interpretations to issue letters patent that demonstrated both continued royal authority over these territories and a desire to employ legal codes that would likely be approved by the international community. The crown also insisted on the erection of fortifications and approved of the publication of semiotically charged maps, each of which served the function of showing that the English had possession and effective control over the lands claimed in North and South America, the North Atlantic, and the East and West Indies.

  • 'God's Friend, the Whole World's Enemy'
    This article from Netherlands Journal of Legal Philosophy is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker ‘God’s Friend, the Whole World’s Enemy’ Reconsidering the role of piracy in the development of universal jurisdiction. Louis Sicking ‘And so if justice is left out, what are kingdoms except great robber bands? For what are robber bands except little kingdoms? The band also is a group of men gov- erned by the orders of a leader, bound by a social compact, and its booty is divided according to a law agreed upon. (…) Alexander the Great (…) [asked] a certain pirate whom he had captured (…) what he was thinking of, that he should molest the sea, he said with defiant independ- ence: “The same as you when you molest the world! Since I do this with a little ship I am called a pirate. You do it with a great fleet and are called an emperor.”’ Augustine, The City of God.1 1 Introduction Piracy, including the ways in which it was viewed over time, is predominantly considered the way David Luban does in his article with the telling title ‘The Enemy of All Humanity.’2 This common approach takes Cicero’s concept ‘enemy of all’ (communis hostis omnium) as a point of departure and ends with the special place piracy holds today within the field of international law because of the uni- versal jurisdiction that applies. In between legal scholars are mentioned who used or adapted Cicero’s expression, including the medieval jurist Bartolus Saxoferrato (1314-1357) and the early modern jurist Alberico Gentili (1552-1608) who con- nected piracy with the law of nations.

  • The Threat from the Sea. the Kingdom of Naples Between Piracy, Warfare and Statehood in a Tractatus by Giovan Francesco De Ponte
    THE THREAT FROM THE SEA. THE KINGDOM OF NAPLES BETWEEN PIRACY, WARFARE AND STATEHOOD IN A TRACTATUS BY GIOVAN FRANCESCO DE PONTE LA MINACCIA DAL MARE. IL REGNO DI NAPOLI TRA PIRATERIA, GUERRA E COSTRUZIONE DELLO ‘SPAZIO’ STATALE IN UN TRACTATUS DI GIOVAN FRANCESCO DE PONTE Francesco Serpico Università degli Studi del Molise [email protected] Abstract english: The paper focuses on the topic of the impact of piracy on the institu- tional framework in the Kingdom of Naples during the Modern Age (XVIth ̶ XVIIth centu- ries). Many historians agree that the continuous Ottoman̶-Barbaresque raids on the coast of Southern Italy played a key role in the conditions of fragility and weakness of the South and its progressive marginalization from the economic and productive networks of early modern Europe. Consequently, the paper first analyzes the reason for military weakness of the Kingdom of Naples, and then it examines the effect of defensive vulnerability on the political-constitutional field through a Juridical culture’s paradigmatic text: theTrac- tatus de potestate Proregis et Collaterali Consilii et regimine Regni by Giovan Francesco De Ponte. In hindsight, the evaluation of the strategies of the government during the Spanish viceroyalty shows how the strong alliance between the Spanish Monarchy and the lawyers-administrators (the noble of robes) was a formidable legitimizing machine for the monarchy, but it also leads to the nobility progressively moving away from its tra- ditional role of government and military defense. The final result of this compromise was to deprive the Kingdom of the only means that they had that could effectively counter attack the maritime dominance of the Ottoman-Barabresque pirates and feed a growing sense of insecurity which deeply scarred the fragile political balances of the southern Monarchy.
