Zusatztext the way in which he uses the trials to demonstrate the multiplicity of standpoints from which any incident can be viewed is one of the strengths of his book Klappentext In this boldly structured work, Ruggiero tells the stories of those investigated on the charge of being ruled by witchcraft or the will of the flesh in late Renaissance Venice. With an imaginative flair for story-telling and impeccable scholarship, Ruggiero examines the bound passions of the period through these select tales of the Inquisition and illuminates a chapter in Venetian history previously unexplored. Zusammenfassung Providing an interpretation of the end of the Renaissance in Italy, this volume develops five narrative accounts of individual encounters with the Inquisition. These illustrate how passions were both bound by late Renaissance society and were seen in turn as binding people.
