| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-326) and index Preface -- Twelve true stories? -- The Roman Inquisition in Venice -- "Little women" and discernment of spirits -- From study to courtroom -- Refashioning "true" holiness -- Sorceresses, witches, and inquisitors -- Healers of the soul -- Healers of the body -- Rings and other things -- Time and space -- Sex and gender -- Pretense? Between 1618 and 1750, sixteen people & mdash;nine women and seven men & mdash;were brought to the attention of the ecclesiastical authorities in Venice because they were reporting visions, revelations, and special privileges from heaven. All were investigated, and most were put on trial by the Holy Office of the Inquisition on a charge of heresy under various rubrics that might be translated as "pretense of holiness." Anne Jacobson Schutte looks closely at the institutional, cultural, and religious contexts that gave rise to the phenomenon of visionaries in Venice. To explain the worldview of the prosecutors as well as the prosecuted, Schutte examines inquisitorial trial dossiers, theological manuals, spiritual treatises, and medical works that shaped early modern Italians' understanding of the differences between orthodox Catholic belief and heresy. In particular, she demonstrates that socially constructed assumptions about males and females affected how the Inquisition treated the accused parties. The women charged with heresy were non-elites who generally claimed to experience ecstatic visions and receive messages; the men were usually clergy who responded to these women without claiming any supernatural experience themselves. Because they "should have known better," the men were judged more harshly by authorities. Placing the events in a context larger than just the inquisitorial process, Aspiring Saints sheds new light on the history of religion, the dynamics of gender relations, and the ambiguous boundary between sincerity and pretense in early modern Italy |

Between 1618 and 1750, sixteen people & mdash;nine women and seven men & mdash;were brought to the attention of the ecclesiastical authorities in Venice because they were reporting visions, revelations, and special privileges from heaven. All were investigated, and most were put on trial by the Holy Office of the Inquisition on a charge of heresy under various rubrics that might be translated as "pretense of holiness." Anne Jacobson Schutte looks closely at the institutional, cultural, and religious contexts that gave rise to the phenomenon of visionaries in Venice. To explain the worldview of the prosecutors as well as the prosecuted, Schutte examines inquisitorial trial dossiers, theological manuals, spiritual treatises, and medical works that shaped early modern Italians' understanding of the differences between orthodox Catholic belief and heresy. In particular, she demonstrates that socially constructed assumptions about males and females affected how the Inquisition treated the accused parties. The women charged with heresy were non-elites who generally claimed to experience ecstatic visions and receive messages; the men were usually clergy who responded to these women without claiming any supernatural experience themselves. Because they "should have known better," the men were judged more harshly by authorities. Placing the events in a context larger than just the inquisitorial process, Aspiring Saints sheds new light on the history of religion, the dynamics of gender relations, and the ambiguous boundary between sincerity and pretense in early modern Italy Katholische Kirche 1600 - 1799 fast Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1600-1700 Geschichte 1618-1750 gnd rswk-swf RELIGION / History bisacsh Discernment of spirits / History of doctrines fast Holiness / Catholic Church / History of doctrines fast Inquisition fast Visionaries fast Women in the Catholic Church fast Inquisitie gtt Sekseverschillen gtt Heiligverklaring gtt Geschichte Geschlechtsunterschied Inquisition Italy Venice Visionaries Italy Venice History 17th century Holiness Catholic Church History of doctrines 17th century Discernment of spirits History of doctrines 17th century Women in the Catholic Church History 17th century Visionaries Italy Venice History 18th century Holiness Catholic Church History of doctrines 18th century Discernment of spirits History of doctrines 18th century Women in the Catholic Church History 18th century Heiligkeit (DE-588)4159400-9 gnd rswk-swf Inquisition (DE-588)4027106-7 gnd rswk-swf Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 gnd rswk-swf Italien Venedig (DE-588)4062501-1 gnd rswk-swf Venedig (DE-588)4062501-1 g Inquisition (DE-588)4027106-7 s Heiligkeit (DE-588)4159400-9 s Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 s Geschichte 1618-1750 z 1\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=75758 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
