5. «Conoscere a fondo le pessime arti de' maliardi, per potersene guardare, e difendere». Sulla censura cli alcuni trattati demonologici.

Author

Valente, Michaela

Abstract

The article analyzes catholic censorship on demonological works in order to evaluate if those books are involved in the Roman strategy. The control of books was intended to stem the circulation of ideas that might merely open a door to heterodoxy, but over the years the category of heresy was extended to include any divergence from the pronouncements of Rome.

Author

Valente, Michaela

Subjects

Abstract

Farnese's career was initially based on "the love and intimacy" that existed between Pope Alexander vi and Giulia Farnese, Alessandro's sister (p. 48). Cussen's book moves from Farnese's humanistic formation to his rise as a cardinal and then his election as pope. Cussen underlines how culture, politics and religion are so intertwined and mixed, while Dalton focuses upon the Jesuits, leaving their context very much in the background.
