Magic, Science, and Religion in Early Modern Europe
The Magic of Rogues
Frank Klaassen and Sharon Hubbs Wright, The Magic of Rogues: Necromancers in Early Tudor England. University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2021. IX-161 pp. 9780271089294.The historical study of magic and the occult in Western Europe is often split in two. One main approach, drawing on the fact that practices deemed to be magical have frequently been condemned by both secular and religious authorities, approaches magic as an illicit a…
Muslims in Medieval Inquisitorial Thought
This article analyzes the scant treatment of Muslims in medieval inquisitorial thought, focusing mainly on the late fourteenth-century Aragonese inquisitor Nicolau Eymeric'sDirectorium inquisitorum(1376). It argues for four contexts in which to understand his engagement with Islam. First, as background, is a longstanding Christian (although not inquisitorial) tradition categorizing Islam as a heresy, with which he did not substantially engage. Se…

Classical Culture and Witchcraft in Medieval and Renaissance Italy
The major witch hunts of Western Europe reached their peak just as the forces of Renaissance and Reformation were supposedly inaugurating a new and more modern era. Hugh Trevor-Roper observed as much in his classic essay on “The European Witch-Craze” (1967), a reference that Marina Montesano cites at the outset of the study reviewed here. In the decades since Trevor-Roper wrote, a good deal of sophisticated scholarship has focused on how the ener…
Inquisition in the Fourteenth Century
As indicated by its subtitle, this study approaches inquisition in the fourteenth century primarily through two great inquisitorial manuals: Gui’s Practica inquisitionis (1325) and Eymerich’s Directorium inquisitorum (1376). At points, Hill also references the anonymous De officio inquisitionis and the Italian jurist Zanchino Ugolini's Tractatus super materia hereticorum, as well as other kinds of inquisitorial records. While he acknowledges the …

Late Medieval Heresy: New Perspectives
Fresh investigations into heresy after 1300, demonstrating its continuing importance and influence. From the Gregorian reforms to the Protestant Reformation, heresies and heretics helped shape the religious, political, and institutional structures of medieval Europe. Within this larger history of religious ferment, the late medieval period presents a particularly dynamic array of heterodox movements, dissident modes of thought, and ecclesiastical…

Fearful Spirits, Reasoned Follies
Superstitions are commonplace in the modern world. Mostly, however, they evoke innocuous images of people reading their horoscopes or avoiding black cats. Certain religious practices might also come to mind—praying to St. Christopher or lighting candles for the dead. In medieval Europe superstitions were considered serious offenses, violations of essential precepts of Christian doctrine or immutable natural laws. This book explores the concept of…

A Late-Medieval Crisis of Superstition
The medieval church had always been concerned about superstition. In the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries—the waning years, as some would have it, of the European Middle Ages—certain theologians and other clerical authorities became obsessed with it. Authors from Iberia to the Low Countries and from Paris to Vienna turned their attention to this topic, and particularly in the first half of the 1400s a wave of tracts and treatises exp…

Religious Poverty, Mendicancy, and Reform in the Late Middle Ages
The idea and the ideal of religious poverty exerted a powerful force throughout the Middle Ages. "Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff," Christ had commanded his apostles. He had sternly warned, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for someone who is rich to enter into the kingdom of God." And he had instructed one of the faithful, who had ask…

Articles
Michael D. Bailey responds: Professor Clay is correct that Weber first published “Die protestantische Ethik” as two lengthy articles in the Archiv für Sozialwissenschaft und Sozialpolitik 20 and 21 (1904–1905). Here he developed many ideas, mainly concerning ascetic Calvinism, that would underlie his notion of disenchantment. He did not, however, employ the phrase “Entzauberung der Welt” in this earliest version of his work, nor did he include th…

The Disenchantment of Magic
IN 1917, IN A LECTURE IN MUNICH on “Science as a Vocation,” Max Weber first articulated his notion of “the disenchantment of the world,” later also incorporated into his seminal Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. He presented disenchantment as a hallmark feature of modern Western society, which had come into full vigor with the Protestant Reformation. Initially Weber described this development, in relation to science, as entailing pri…

La Vauderie d'Arras
WITCH-HUNTING began in the late middle ages, with the earliest major series of trials occurring in the fifteenth century in the lands of the western Alps around Lac Leman, in Dauphiné, and in Savoy. Among the first significant taking place outside this immediate geographical area, but adhering to the same general stereotype of conspiratorial, diabolical witchcraft, were those that occurred in the city of Arras between the autumn of 1459 and late …
Vanities of the Eye
As he once proposed that demons were “good to think with,” Stuart Clark now asserts that vision was and is good to think with, both for early modern people and for historians examining the early modern past. Clark sees theories of visual perception and concerns about the reliability of vision as a method for perceiving reality manifested in numerous aspects of early modern intellectual culture: art, magic, demonology, science, philosophy, and rel…

Concern over Superstition in Late Medieval Europe
Late medieval Europeans inhabited a world replete with spells, charms, blessings, and other rites intended to invoke and manipulate supernatural power. Whether these people regarded such practices as ‘magical’ or not, they typically believed them to be capable of producing real effects. 1 Innumerable rites existed, mostly to achieve basic goals, such as to heal or ward off disease, or to avoid misfortune. 2 Despite such simple, quotidian, and ben…
