Download or read book The Cambridge History of Magic and Witchcraft in the West written by David J. Collins, S. J. and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents twenty chapters by experts in their fields, providing a thorough and interdisciplinary overview of the theory and practice of magic in the West. Its chronological scope extends from the Ancient Near East to twenty-first-century North America; its objects of analysis range from Persian curse tablets to US neo-paganism. For comparative purposes, the volume includes chapters on developments in the Jewish and Muslim worlds, evaluated not simply for what they contributed at various points to European notions of magic, but also as models of alternative development in ancient Mediterranean legacy. Similarly, the volume highlights the transformative and challenging encounters of Europeans with non-Europeans, regarding the practice of magic in both early modern colonization and more recent decolonization.

Download or read book Plautilla Nelli (1524-1588) written by Jonathan K. Nelson and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A little-known painter in sixteenth-century Florence, Plautilla Nelli is one of the first known female Renaissance artists. The Lamentation, Last Supper, and Pentecost make her one of the first European women we can identify with large-scale religious works. Most remarkably, perhaps, this Dominican nun became the primary "image maker" of the Order of Preachers in Florence, a role previously played by Fra Bartolommeo. Through her art, she "preached" primarily, but not exclusively, to the nuns in her convent of Santa Caterina da Siena. Nelli also conveyed her artistic and moral message to all those who could see her works, many of which were praised by two contemporaries, Giorgio Vasari and Serafino Razzi." "In this collection of essays, internationally recognized scholars examine the life and works of Nelli, the prioress of a Dominican convent, with special attention to the artistic, social, and religious contexts. The book reproduces all Nelli's paintings and drawings in color, many for the first time, and significantly increases the small corpus of works attributed to her. It also presents the restoration results of her celebrated Lamentation."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Disenchanting Albert the Great written by David J. Collins, S. J. and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2024-07-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albert the Great (1200–1280) was a prominent Dominican friar, a leading philosopher, and the teacher of Thomas Aquinas. He also endorsed the use of magic. Controversial though that stance would have been, Albert was never punished or repudiated for what he wrote. Albert’s reception followed instead a markedly different course, leading ultimately to his canonization by the Catholic Church in 1931. But his thoughts about magic have been debated for centuries. Disenchanting Albert the Great takes Albert’s contested reputation as a case study for the long and complex history surrounding the concept of magic and magic’s relationship to science and religion. Over the centuries, Albert was celebrated for his magic, or it was explained away—but he was never condemned. In the fifteenth century, members of learned circles first attempted to distance Albert from magic, with the goal of exonerating him of superstition, irrationality, and immorality. Disenchanting Albert the Great discusses the philosopher’s own understanding of magic; an early, adulatory phase of his reputation as a magician; and the three primary strategies used to exonerate Albert over the centuries. In the end, Disenchanting Albert the Great tells the story of a thirteenth-century scholar who worked to disenchant the natural world with his ideas about magic but who himself would not be disenchanted until the modern era. This accessible and insightful history will appeal to those interested in Albert the Great, Catholic Church history, the history of magic, and Western understandings of the natural and the rational over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book reconstructs the activity of the "tribunal of the faith" in the northern Italian states during the period 1400-1600, analyzing the ideology of its judges, and taking a closer look at the Italian witches and their clientele. For the first time the English-language reader will be offered direct access to this little-known world through a large selection of translated Inquisition trials from the rich State Archives of Modena." "Students of early modern culture and religion will discover how magic was employed habitually through a wide variety of composite spells and enchantments. Folklore, Catholic ritual, and books of demonic conjurations offered wizards and healers countless sources of inspiration for their practices, Readers interested in social and gender history will learn how magic and witchcraft comprised an integral part of daily life in early modern Italy. They were a means for contact and communication between diverse worlds, where wealthy aristocrats and petty shopkeepers, refined intellectuals and crafty prostitutes, rich bishops and clever priests all rubbed shoulders while attempting to improve their lot by magical means."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 4, 1966, Florence experienced the most devastating flood of its entire history, which crippled the city and destroyed many of the world’s art treasures. On that day, Swietlan Nicholas Kraczyna, a twenty-six-year-old American artist living in Florence, went out into the flooded streets and photographed the dramatic unfolding events. Kraczyna was awarded the Fiorino d’Oro—the highest honor of the City of Florence—for ten of those photographs. This book presents, for the first time, a selection of eighty-four of Kraczyna’s flood photographs, taken on that tragic day and in the days that followed, as the city tried to deal with the immense disaster.
