Juan de Valdés and the Italian Reformation, by Massimo Firpo, tr. Richard Bates
On Lives Lived With Law: Land as Healer
Senior Law Man Bill Neidjie asks us to listen carefully to the land, just as Sir Humphrey is asking us to be mindful of the impact of the Land’s capricious nature, for both have a deep understanding of the powerful impact Nature has on human wellbeing. And perhaps it is worth considering that this is why the colonist is obsessed with time and resources, whilst the Indigenous are concerned with place and space. It all comes back to Nature
The New Christians of Spanish Naples, 1528–1671, by Peter A. Mazur
This short book is an important contribution to understanding the roles of Portuguese New Christians, conversos, in the Kingdom of Naples, and to the interrelationships of the inquisition systems operating there. Peter Mazur uses the Holy Office records in the Naples diocesan archive (ASDN), and in the Vatican (ACDF). He rightly stresses the value of inquisition records for the social history of communities and families under investigation. He fo…

Riti proibiti: Liturgia e inquisizione nella Francia del Settecento, by Paolo Fontana
The Director of the Genoese diocesan archive, Don Paolo Fontana, has previously published many books and articles concerning notable religious women, acceptable mystics or doubted ‘holy women’, such as Princess Violante Lomellini Doria, St Caterina Fieschi Adorno, Domitilla Galuzzi (an inquisition target in 1658 as a follower of the Pelagini), and lesser figures across Europe from the Annunziata Celestine order. In English, we have, intriguingly,…
Massimo Firpo. La presa di potere dell'Inquisizione romana, 1550–1553
Massimo Firpo's latest book demonstrates his possibly unrivaled mastery of the religious crises in Italy from the 1520s to 1560s, as well as his knowledge of religious dissidents, power politics around the Papacy, and the struggles in trying to shape the re-formed Holy Office of the Inquisition from 1542. Other Italian (and even non-Italian) scholars may rival his knowledge of Inquisition history after the 1560s (when Firpo seemingly loses intere…
Punishment and Penance: Two Phases in the History of the Bishop's Tribunal of Novara, by Thomas B. Deutscher
A study of an Italian episcopal tribunal in the early modern period is very welcome, given that loss or inaccessibility of archival documentation, and sometimes ecclesiastical obstruction of interested researchers, has impeded such studies. Thomas Deutscher has been working on the Novara episcopacy (especially under Carlo Bascapè, bishop from 1593 to 1615), since completing his Toronto Ph.D. in 1978. He has produced several important articles, no…

The Public Face of Post‐Tridentine Italian Confraternities
Catholic reforming policies and Council of Trent rules encouraged and expanded the more public roles and responsibilities of lay confraternities, changing the nature of some old brotherhoods, and promoting new ones. The public images became more important for members, the wider church institutions including associated religious orders, and the public. This article considers some significant aspects of the “public face”: processions, Forty Hour de…

There were tears of joy and rounds of applause among the prelates who closed the Council of the Church in Trent Cathedral in December 1563.

The Politics of Ritual Kinship: Confraternities and Social Order in Early Modern Italy
Confraternities were the most common form of organized religious life in medieval and early modern Europe. They were at once the lay face of the church, the spiritual heart of civic government, and the social kin who claimed the allegiance of peers and the obedience of subordinates. In this 1999 collection, fifteen scholars examine the development of confraternities in Italy, where they emerged first and had the greatest impact. Individual essays…

The Council of Trent and Bases for Continuing Reform
The Council of Trent, operating in three separate periods (1545–47, 1550–51 and 1562–63), was one of the major Councils of the Church, but historically one of the most significant attempts to produce a body of legislation. It was and is important, whether one criticises or praises it for what it did or did not do. It has been heavily attacked on all sides. For some, a general council of the Church was inaugurated to attempt reconciliation between…
