Agents of Witchcraft in Early Modern Italy and Denmark Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic Series Editors: Jonathan Barry, Willem de Blécourt and Owen Davies Series Foreword The history of European witchcraft and magic continues to fascinate and challenge students and scholars. There is certainly no shortage of books on the subject. Several general surveys of the witch trials and numerous regional and micro studies have been published for an English-speaking readership. While the quality of publications on witchcraft has been high, some regions and topics have received less attention over the years. The aim of this series is to help illuminate these lesser known or little studied aspects of the history of witchcraft and magic. It will also encourage the devel- opment of a broader corpus of work in other related areas of magic and the supernatu- ral, such as angels, devils, spirits, ghosts, folk healing and divination. To help further our understanding and interest in this wider history of beliefs and practices, the series will include research that looks beyond the usual focus on Western Europe and that also explores their relevance and infl uence from the medieval to the modern period. Titles include: Jonathan Barry WITCHCRAFT AND DEMONOLOGY IN SOUTH-WEST ENGLAND, 1640–1789 Jonathan Barry RAISING SPIRITS How a Conjuror’s Tale was Transmitted Across the Enlightenment Edward Bever THE REALITIES OF WITCHCRAFT AND POPULAR MAGIC IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE Culture, Cognition and Everyday Life Ruth Bottigheimer MAGIC TALES AND FAIRY TALE MAGIC From Ancient Egypt to the Italian Renaissance Alison Butler VICTORIAN OCCULTISM AND THE MAKING OF MODERN MAGIC Invoking Tradition Johannes Dillinger MAGICAL TREASURE HUNTING IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA A History Julian Goodare (editorr) SCOTTISH WITCHES AND WITCH-HUNTERS Julian Goodare, Lauren Martin and Joyce Miller (editorr) WITCHCRAFT AND BELIEF IN EARLY MODERN SCOTLAND Jonathan Roper (editorr) CHARMS, CHARMERS AND CHARMING Alison Rowlands (editorr) WITCHCRAFT AND MASCULINITIES IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE Rolf Schulte MAN AS WITCH Male Witches in Central Europe Laura Stokes DEMONS OF URBAN REFORM Early European Witch Trials and Criminal Justice, 1430–1530 María Tausiet URBAN MAGIC IN EARLY MODERN SPAIN Abracadabra Omnipotens Robert Ziegler SATANISM, MAGIC AND MYSTICISM IN FIN-DE-SIÈCLE FRANCE Louise Nyholm Kallestrup AGENTS OF WITCHCRAFT IN EARLY MODERN ITALY AND DENMARK Forthcoming: Lizanne Henderson WITCHCRAFT AND FOLK BELIEF AT THE DAWN OF ENLIGHTENMENT Andrew Sneddon WITCHCRAFT AND MAGIC IN IRELAND, 1890–1940 Liana Saif ARABIC INFLUENCES ON EARLY MODERN OCCULT THOUGHT Palgrave Historical Studies in Witchcraft and Magic Series Standing Order ISBN 978–1403–99566–7 Hardback 978–1403–99567–4 Paperback (outside North America only) You can receive future titles in this series as they are published by placing a standing order.

As he told the court, “I am from Montereale, in the diocese of Concordia. My father was called Zuane and my mother Menega and I have lived in Montereale most of my life, except for two years when I was banished, of which I spent one in Arba and one in Cargna, and I was banished for being in a brawl.”3 Menoc- chio’s creative and imaginative ideas about the creation of the world — and his unconventional opinions about orthodox Catholicism — brought him to * David Levine is professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Tor- onto.

  • Jews on Trial: the Papal Inquisition in Modena
    1 Jews, Papal Inquisitors and the Estense dukes In 1598, the year that Duke Cesare d’Este (1562–1628) lost Ferrara to Papal forces and moved the capital of his duchy to Modena, the Papal Inquisition in Modena was elevated from vicariate to full Inquisitorial status. Despite initial clashes with the Duke, the Inquisition began to prosecute not only heretics and blasphemers, but also professing Jews. Such a policy towards infidels by an organization appointed to enquire into heresy (inquisitio haereticae pravitatis) was unusual. In order to understand this process this chapter studies the political situation in Modena, the socio-religious predicament of Modenese Jews, how the Roman Inquisition in Modena was established despite ducal restrictions and finally the steps taken by the Holy Office to gain jurisdiction over professing Jews. It argues that in Modena, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Holy Office, directly empowered by popes to try Jews who violated canons, was taking unprecedented judicial actions against them. Modena, a small city on the south side of the Po Valley, seventy miles west of Ferrara in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, originated as the Roman town of Mutina, but after centuries of destruction and renewal it evolved as a market town and as a busy commercial centre of a fertile countryside. It was built around a Romanesque cathedral and the Ghirlandina tower, intersected by canals and cut through by the Via Aemilia, the ancient Roman highway from Piacenza to Rimini. It was part of the duchy ruled by the Este family, who origi- nated in Este, to the south of the Euganean hills, and the territories it ruled at their greatest extent stretched from the Adriatic coast across the Po Valley and up into the Apennines beyond Modena and Reggio, as well as north of the Po into the Polesine region.

  • Witch Hunting
    LE TAROT- ISTITUTO GRAF p resen t WITCH HUNTING C U R A T O R S FRANCO CARDINI - ANDREA VITALI GUGLIELMO INVERNIZZI - GIORDANO BERTI 1 HISTORICAL PRESENTATION “The sleep of reason produces monsters" this is the title of a work of the great Spanish painter Francisco Goya. He portrayed a man sleeping on a large stone, while around him there were all kinds of nightmares, who become living beings. With this allegory, Goya was referring to tragedies that involved Europe in his time, the end of the eighteenth century. But the same image can be the emblem of other tragedies closer to our days, nightmares born from intolerance, incomprehension of different people, from the illusion of intellectual, religious or racial superiority. The history of the witch hunting is an example of how an ancient nightmare is recurring over the centuries in different forms. In times of crisis, it is seeking a scapegoat for the evils that afflict society. So "the other", the incarnation of evil, must be isolated and eliminated. This irrational attitude common to primitive cultures to the so-called "civilization" modern and post-modern. The witch hunting was break out in different locations of Western Europe, between the Middle Ages and the Baroque age. The most affected areas were still dominated by particular cultures or on the border between nations in conflict for religious reasons or for political interests. Subtly, the rulers of this or that nation shake the specter of invisible and diabolical enemy to unleash fear and consequent reaction: the denunciation, persecution, extermination of witches.

  • Sacraments of Initiation Fallow Year Reflection Resource Document
    DIOCESAN LITURGY COUNCIL Sacraments of Initiation A fallow year reflection resource … … You will sow your land and gather its produce, but (in the year of pandemic) … you will let it lie fallow and forgo all its produce … (Ex 23:10-11) In ancient times the ‘fallow’ year was concerned with the wellbeing of the land/creation and feeding the poor. The fallow year was also associated with Sabbath and time to rest with God. Sabbath is about becoming whole as a person, as a society, and in our case, as a church specifically in regard to the ministry of Christian Initiation with regard to children and families. 1 | P a g e Prayer of Teilhard de Chardin - Patient Trust Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability— and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually—let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don’t try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be.
