Nye perspektiver på lensherrene: Forskningsstatus og muligheter i studiet av Norges styresmenn 1537–1660
Denne artikkelen undersøker lensherrene, som styrte Norge på vegne av den dansk-norske kongen i perioden 1537 til 1661. Til tross for at disse personene spilte en svært viktig rolle, er det overraskende lite forskning og litteratur om dem. Artikkelen sammenligner lensherrene i 1560 med dem i 1630, og finner at den norske adelen ble skjøvet ut av lensvesenet og erstattet av danske menn. Likevel ble ikke den norske adelen erstattet av en ny, fastbo…

Alimenter des bases de données grâce à l’intelligence artificielle: Quelques exemples concrets pour souligner les défis actuels de l’historien
Cet article explore l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) sur la recherche historique : en revisitant les premières tentatives de numérisation des procès de l’Inquisition espagnole et portugaise, il montre comment les technologies actuelles, en particulier les grands modèles de langage (LLM), ont révolutionné la gestion des bases de données. Grâce à l’IA, les tâches complexes telles que la saisie, le nettoyage et la normalisation des donné…
La cause de foi dans l'Inquisition espagnole: Entre droit et repentance
Cet article se fonde, en premier lieu, sur des manuels manuscrits produits et/ou utilisés par les inquisiteurs en Espagne pour leur usage quotidien. Il s'appuie ensuite sur les traités latins que ces manuels citent en références, qui nous ont permis d'avoir accès à l'arrière-plan théorique, théologique, pastoral et philosophique sur lequel se fondait la pratique. Nous avons également comparé la structure procédurale des procès originaux aux relat…
El danés peligroso. Semblante humano de Gustav Henningsen. Evocación a cuatro manos
Gustav Henningsen, aparte de ser un gran investigador, es también una personalidad fuera de lo común. Raras veces su entusiasmo pasa desapercibido. Tuvo pocos alumnos. Pero a estos los marcó de una impronta indeleble. Dos de ellos dan testimonio
Witchcraft and Slavery in Cartagena de Indias
The witchcraft trials in the Spanish Inquisition's tribunal in Cartagena de Indias had direct links to the trials in Northern Spain. These trials started just after the trials in the Basque country in 1610-14, and show the adoption of a newly coined word for the witches' sabbath not in evidence outside of the Basque country. Once transported to the Americas, the witches' sabbath was reshaped to reflect the fears of the ruling class in colonial sl…
Servants of Satan and Masters of Demons: The Spanish Inquisition's Trials for Superstition, Valencia and Barcelona, 1478-1700
Prosecuting the French: Patterns of trials against French defendants in Valencia, 1566–1686
A serial study of court records from two different jurisdictions in early modern Valencia shows that during the years 1566–1686 there was one single period with significantly higher numbers of trials against French defendants. This coincided with the period of the Spanish monarchy's greatest worries about outside influence in Spain. However, the increased number of trials is only traceable in one of the two courts under study, that of the Inquisi…
Servants of Satan and Masters of Demons: The Spanish Inquisition’s Trials for Superstition, Valencia and Barcelona, 1478-1700
This book offers a systematic study of the trials for superstition in the Spanish Inquisition’s two tribunals in Valencia and Barcelona in the period 1478-1700. One of the most intriguing contrasts between the trials in northern and southern Spain is that while both areas saw a large number of trials for superstition, Valencia did not conduct trials for demonological witchcraft. Catalonia, on the other hand, saw a large number of such trials, the…
Norwegian witchcraft trials: A reassessment
Twenty years have passed since Hans Eyvind Næss published what remains the only complete study of Norwegian witchcraft trials. This article considers the work done since that time, and surveys the state of research on witchcraft trials in Norway. Drawing on a recent registration of all known extant witchcraft trial records in Norway as well as recent research, I show how there was a much higher degree of regional differences within Norway than Næ…
