Credibility, Certainty, and Belief in Legal Thought and Moral Theology, or On the Afterlife of Augustine's Credulitas
Examining the intellectual, cultural, and social implications of reading visual and bodily manifestations as signs of guilt and innocence means grappling with the relationship between what is true and what is credible, and consequently with the problem of how to make judgments when lacking absolute certainty. This essay explores this problem by focusing on the afterlife of Augustine's notion of credulitas, or “belief,” in two parallel but intertw…

The Mystery of Mount Vesuvius's Crosses: Belief, Credulity, and Credibility in Post-Reformation Catholicism
In the summer of 1660, Mount Vesuvius began to erupt. After about a month, the volcano quieted down, but a strange and upsetting phenomenon started to manifest: all over the city of Naples and in the neighboring communities, a series of red and black crosses appeared on people's linens, clothes, and bodies. This essay focuses on this mysterious appearance and on the debate it provoked, using it as a case study to investigate the relationship betw…
Early Modern Uncertainty: Reason, Conscience, and Belief in Post-Reformation Catholicism
This essay investigates the role of uncertainty in post-Reformation Catholicism. It argues that one of the reasons why uncertainty was so central to early modern Catholic discourse lies in the complex and multifaced relationship between believing-that is, the act of holding as true something that we are unable to verify as such by means of reason-and knowing-that is, the act of holding something as true on the basis of a reasonable and reasoned a…
George McClure. Doubting the Divine in Early Modern Europe: The Revival of Momus, the Agnostic God
George McClure’s Doubting the Divine in Early Modern Europe: The Revival of Momus, the Agnostic God investigates the place of the Greek god Momus (“Blame”) in early modern Europe. After Hesiod introduced Momus, rather curtly, as a son of Night, subsequent Greek writers, especially Aesop and Lucian, gave more space to Momus, depicting him as an irreverent critic who did not hesitate to talk back to Zeus and the other gods, either out of envy and m…

Peter Marshall. Heretics and Believers: A History of the English Reformation
James Brooks, master of Balliol College in Oxford, chaplain to Stephen Gardiner, and, from 1554, bishop of Gloucester, is one of the numerous characters (some notorious, some familiar to scholars, and some virtually unknown) populating Peter Marshall’s magisterial overview of the English Reformation, Heretics and Believers. In 1553, from the pulpit at Paul’s Cross, Brooks gave a passionate sermon on the lamentable condition of Protestant England,…

Writing the truth: Agostino Mascardi and Post-Reformation Historiography by Way of Paul Ricoeur
This chapter examines the relationship between truth and language in early modern history writing, especially in that genre of post-Humanist historiography known as ars historiae. Traditional scholarship has judged the artes historiae mainly trite collections of equally trite tropes and precepts. This chapter challenges that view. It focuses on Agostino Mascardi, an ex-Jesuit historian, literary critic, and theorist of history, who in 1636 publis…
Shadows of Doubt: Language and Truth in Post-Reformation Catholic Culture
n a compelling examination of the hermeneutical and epistemological anxieties gripping both the early modern and our current world, Stefania Tutino shows that post-Reformation Catholicism did not simply usher in modernity, but postmodernity as well. This deft study provides new insight into and a fresh perspective on the context of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic response to it. Shadows of Doubt provides a collection of case-studies c…
Maurizio Viroli. As If God Existed: Religion and Liberty in the History of Italy
This is a stimulating and provocative book. It shows that religion and liberty, far from being antithetical, were strictly linked throughout the history of the Italian peninsula. It also argues that the religious dimension is not only compatible with, but also necessary to, political liberty. Defending the liberty of one's country against extraordinary challenges and preserving it by carrying out the civic duties imposed by the community requires…
For the Sake of the Truth of History and of the Catholic Doctrines”: History, Documents, and Dogma in Cesare Baronio’s Annales Ecclesiastici
This article explores the relationship between theology and documentary criticism in Cesare Baronio’s Annales Ecclesiastici in their own historical and intellectual context. The first two sections of this article are devoted to analyzing two episodes in Baronio’s work, which most clearly show the role of erudition and historical criticism in articulating crucial and controversial political and theological positions in post-Reformation Rome. The t…
Nothing But the Truth? Hermeneutics and Morality in the Doctrines of Equivocation and Mental Reservation in Early Modern Europe
This article examines certain aspects of the history of the doctrines of equivocation and mental reservation in early modern Catholic elaborations. It argues that the first Catholic theologians who engaged systematically with these doctrines, Domingo de Soto and Martin de Azpilcueta (Navarrus), used them as tools to investigate the potentialities and limitations of human language as a means to communicate meaning between a speaker and a listener.…

Empire of Souls: Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621) and the Christian commonwealth
Robert Bellarmine was one of the pillars of post-Reformation Catholicism: he was a celebrated Jesuit theologian, a highly ranked member of the Congregations of the Inquisition and of the Index, the censor in charge of the Galileo affair. Bellarmine was also one of the most original political theorists of his time, and he participated directly in many of the political conflicts that agitated Europe between the end of the sixteenth and the beginnin…
Thomas Preston and English Catholic Loyalism: Elements of an International Affair
This essay examines the events surrounding the case of Thomas Preston, an English Benedictine who wrote in support of the Oath of Allegiance. Preston's career has been studied mainly as an "English affair," that is to say, as an example of the Catholic loyalist tradition as opposed to the Jesuits' uncompromising political stances toward the English monarchy. This essay presents new evidence to make the case that Preston was the center of an impor…
The Political Thought of Robert Persons's Conference in Continental Context
This article seeks to explain some political and theoretical layers of Robert Persons's Conference about the next succession (1595). By examining a Latin manuscript version of the text which appeared in Rome in 1596 and by analysing the context in which this Latin version was composed and the aims which it was intended to fulfil, this article elucidates the political and religious implications of Persons's text, not only in the context of English…
Huguenots, Jesuits and Tyrants: Notes on the Vindiciae contra Tyrannos in Early Modern England
The first edition of the Vindiciae contra Tyrannos was published in 1579. In 1690 a pamphlet entitled Political Aphorisms was printed: this work, constructed by mixing entire passages from the Huguenot text and John Locke's first and second Treatise of government, presented a radical and secular theory of government as a contract between governors and governed. In this essay I want to explain the genesis of Political Aphorisms, or, in other words…

This article seeks to explain the ecclesiological, theological and political arguments put forward by White and his followers in order to justify their approach to the Independents and later to the Lord Protector.
