Binding Passions : Tales of Magic, Marriage, and Power at the End of the Renaissance
Bok av Guido Ruggiero
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.
