Defining Nature's Limits
Practical Knowledge and the Rhetoric of Experience
This article deals with early modern surgical case literature, more specifically with printed collections of observations in surgery. It examines the work of late seventeenth- to late eighteenth-century Italian practitioners from different backgrounds and of different statuses, and highlights the complexity of cognitive and social purposes pervading the genre, besides that of sharing empirical knowledge. These can be apprehended through a second …
Théologiens, savants, érudits
Cet article interroge la figure figée, longtemps prolongée par l’historiographie, du théologien comme détenteur d’un savoir résiduel, en analysant discours identitaires et pratiques savantes des théologiens dans la Rome du XVIIe siècle. Après avoir rappelé la relativement faible place de la théologie dans la fabrique des carrières romaines, mais aussi dans le système romain des sciences, il constate que l’essor de l’érudition ecclésiastique au XV…

Recentemente, lettere e corrispondenze sono tornate prepotentemente al centro della ricerca internazionale in diversi ambiti disciplinari. L’articolo delinea l’evoluzione della storiografia negli ultimi decenni e individua i motivi e i temi federatori del recente ritorno di interesse per l’oggetto. Introducendo gli studi raccolti in questo numero tematico, propone una riflessione sulle attuali tendenze comuni che se ne possono cogliere e sulle qu…
Nicolas Bourguinat, « Et in Arcadia ego… ». Voyages et séjours de femmes en Italie, 1770-1870
Le livre de Nicolas Bourguinat, analysant les écrits de femmes ayant voyagé en Italie entre 1770 et 1870, se situe à l’intersection de plusieurs champs de recherche, l’histoire des femmes, celles du voyage, du livre, de la littérature. Ces domaines d’études confluent dans une relecture originale de l’histoire de l’Europe dans une perspective transnationale. La recherche privilégie une période que l’auteur qualifie de « mal identifiée et mal aimée…
Anton Serdeczny, Du tabac pour le mort. Une histoire de la réanimation
Du tabac pour le mort s’insère de manière originale dans le vaste champ d’études sur l’histoire de la mort, thème qui a connu un regain d’intérêt au cours des dernières années, à la fois dans le champ de l’histoire des sciences et de la médecine et dans celui de l’histoire des mentalités et des représentations du corps.Le livre de Serdeczny, réélaboration d’une thèse, se situe dans cette deuxième tendance historiographique. Il aborde une pratique…
Medicine and the Inquisition in the Early Modern World
Medicine and the Inquisition offers a wide-ranging and nuanced account of the role played by the Roman, Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions in shaping medical learning and practice in the period from 1500 to 1850. Until now, learned medicine has remained a secondary subject in scholarship on Inquisitions. This volume delves into physicians’ contributions to the inquisitorial machinery as well as the persecution of medical practitioners and the ce…
Anatomy of a Scandal
In the 1690s the Roman Inquisition targeted medical circles, as they allegedly disseminated atheism under the veil of new explanations of the body. This article revisits these affairs, focussing on Rome. It argues that increased inquisitorial pressure must be set against the backdrop of struggles for hegemony in the papal curia, in which physicians were entangled. Notwithstanding such political vicissitudes, ecclesiastical control played a releva…
Medicine and the Inquisition in the Early Modern World
International audience
Introduction
In the last decades, a vast body of literature has scrutinized the archive, regarding it as an instrument of power for the Western conquest of the world. More recently, a new, vibrant cultural history of archives has changed our understanding of archives as a fully-fledged historical object and why they matter for extending the geographical scope of history and achieving a more connected image of modernity. The articles assembled in this themed i…

Les doutes de l'Inquisiteur. Philosophie naturelle, censure et théologie à l'époque moderne
Depuis l'ouverture des archives de la Congrégation pour la Doctrine de la Foi en 1998, de nombreuses études sont en passe de renouveler la perception de l'action du Saint-Office et de l'Index. Cependant, les recherches sur la censure de la philosophie naturelle privilégient encore en grande partie la relation entre auteurs et institution. L'on peut désormais préciser la dimension doctrinale de la censure grâce à des sources nouvelles en quantité …
