The Trial of Giordano Bruno
Christians in Jewish Houses
This article concentrates on Modenese inquisitorial processi that investigated interactions between Jews and Christians that took place in their domestic premises, especially the more spacious dwellings in country towns and villages where there were no ghettoes. These investigations confirm that inquisitorial vetoes on socializing were blithely ignored, and that Jews and Christians often seemed to have no antipathy for or suspicion of each other.…
Between perception and deep memory
On 16th June 1945 Ralph Aron, an eighteen-year-old German Jew from Recklinghausen, left Theresienstadt and returned home. Before he had even thought about his own future, he decided to record what had happened to him during the Holocaust. In 1995, two years before his death, Aron again recorded his experiences - this time with more reflection and a developed sense of having processed his experiences and survival. My paper compares these two memoi…

Byzantine tales of Jewish image desecration
This paper questions the significance and meaning behind the Byzantine legends of Jewish image desecration between the sixth and tenth centuries. The narrative of these tales, as historical and literary phenomena, uncover the uneasy equilibrium between the Christian theologians’ fear of idolatry and their need to gratify the Christian veneration of sacred images. It also confirms how doctrinal issues regarding types of images, their representatio…
Image Desecration in Spilamberto
This article explores a series of incidents that took place near Modena between 1632 and 1635, in which members of a Jewish family were accused of desecrating Christian devotional images. It is based on a file in the inquisitorial archive in Modena, with additional information culled from the Archivio della Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede in Rome. The principal locale of the story is a silk mill which was leased to Simon Sanguinetti and …
Thomas F. Mayer. The Roman Inquisition
Thomas F. Mayer's The Roman Inquisition, the first in a series of three volumes dedicated to the inquisitorial prosecutions of Galileo Galilei, is a meticulous study of the personnel and procedure of the Sacred Congregation during the first half of the seventeenth century. It attempts to define the type of bureaucratic institution that the Sacred Congregation had become by providing a prosopographical study of its main officials in Rome. Mayer's …
Outside the Ghetto
Historians have in the past concentrated their studies of early modern Jewish life on the main city-states of Northern Italy where the largest Jewish communities existed. These areas have been categorized as territories which absorbed Jewish immigrants, enclosed them in ghettos, and monitored their actions with the creation of specific agencies. My essay turns to Jewish existence in the smaller towns and rural areas of the duchy of Modena in the …
Buon Purim
The Inquisition, Professing Jews, and Christian Images in Seventeenth-Century Modena
In seventeenth-century Italy, Christian relics and images were scattered through urban spaces, not only because the faithful were expected to acknowledge and touch them, but because their moving through city streets in processions celebratedcommunitas, the sense of belonging that was so much part of early modern civic existence.The Inquisitorial archive in Modena holds at least twelveprocessiagainst professing Jews (who lived for the most part in…
Disciplining Jews
In 1598, the year that Duke Cesare d'Este (1562-1628) lost Ferrara to papal forces and moved the capital of his duchy to Modena, the papal Inquisition in Modena was elevated from vicariate to full inquisitorial status. Despite initial clashes with the duke, the tribunal began not only to prosecute heretics and blasphemers, but also professing Jews. Such a policy towards infidels by an organization appointed to inquire into heresy (inquisitio haer…
