As has been well documented, the printed word was an essential vehicle for the transmission of reformed theology, and one that has left a tangible record for historians to explore. Yet as contemporaries well recognized, books were only a part of the process. It was the spoken word – and especially preaching – that created the demand for printed works. Sermons were the plough that prepared the ground for Lutheran literature to flourish. In order to better understand the relationship between oral sermons and the spread of protestant ideas, Preaching and Inquisition in Renaissance Italy draws upon the records of the Roman Inquisition to see how that institution confronted the challenges of reform on the Italian peninsula in the sixteenth century. At the heart of its subject matter is the increasingly sophisticated rhetorical skill of heterodox preachers at the time, who achieved their ends by silence and omission rather than positive affirmations of Lutheran tenets.

This volume launches the book series of “Inquire – International Centre for Research on Inquisitions” of the University of Bologna, a research network that engages with the history of religious justice from the 13th to the 20th century. This first publication offers twenty chapters that take stock of the current historiography on medieval and early modern Inquisitions (the Spanish, Portuguese and Roman Inquisitions) and their modern continuations. Through the analysis of specific questions related to religious repression in Europe and the Iberian colonial territories extending from the Middle Ages to today, the contributions here examine the history of the perception of tribunals and the most recent historiographical trends. New research perspectives thus emerge on a subject that continues to intrigue those interested in the practices of justice and censorship, the history of religious dissent and the genesis of intolerance in the Western world and beyond.

"The story of a scandal of epic proportions at the heart of the Catholic church - told by one of the world's leading papal historians; A true, never-before-told tale, of poison, murder, and lesbian initiation rites in a nineteenth-century convent - recently discovered in a Vatican archive; Starring a German princess, the Pope, the Inquisition - and the real-life fantasies of the convent's beautiful young mistress. Discovered in a secret Vatican archive, this is the true, never-before-told story of poison, murder, and lesbian initiation rites in a nineteenth century convent. In 1858, Katherina von Hohenzollern, a German princess recently inducted into the convent of Sant'Ambrogio in Rome, wrote a frantic letter to her cousin, a confidant of the Pope, claiming that she was being abused and feared for her life. The subsequent investigation by the Church's Inquisition uncovered the extraordinary secrets of Sant'Ambrogio and the illicit behavior of the convent's beautiful young mistress, Maria Luissa."--Publisher's description.

Die Prosopographie von Römischer Inquisition und Indexkongregation 1814-1917 mit ihren über 800 biobibliographischen Einträgen zu den am Entscheidungsprozeß der Kongregationen beteiligten Akteuren gibt den bislang anonymen Institutionen Inquisition und Indexkongregation erstmals ein konkretes Gesicht. Sie stellt einen - in dreifacher Hinsicht - einzigartigen Einblick in das "Innenleben" von Römischer Inquisition und Indexkongregation dar. Biographisch Interessierten bietet sie vielfach nicht nur völlig unbekannte Lebens- und Ernennungsdaten und die gezielte Kompilation der wichtigsten Literatur, sondern dokumentiert auch - auf breiter Quellenbasis - die konkrete Gutachtertätigkeit der interessierenden Person innerhalb der zwei Kongregationen. Diejenigen, die sich der Prosopographie über einen konkreten Zensurfall nähern, können den häufig unbekannten Zensor mit Hilfe der Prosopographie identifizieren und sein Votum gezielt in den Kontext seiner gesamten Zensurtätigkeit einbetten. Kongregationsgeschichtlich schafft sie schließlich einen Über- und Tiefenblick, der das Fundament für alle zukünftigen Studien und Forschungen über Römische Inquisition und Indexkongregation bilden wird.

The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World is a collection of fourteen articles focusing on debates concerning the nature of “rites” raging in intellectual circles of Europe, Asia and America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The controversy started in Jesuit Asian missions where the method of accommodation, based on translation of Christianity into Asian cultural idioms, created a distinction between civic and religious customs. Civic customs were defined as those that could be included into Christianity and permitted to the new converts. However, there was no universal consensus among the various actors in these controversies as to how to establish criteria for distinguishing civility from religion. The controversy had not been resolved, but opened the way to radical religious scepticism.
