The Inquisition and Books of Magic in Early Modern Venice - Paul Ferguson - 10-01-2025
In the Room of the Circles: The Inquisition and Books of Magic in Early Modern Venice (Routledge Studies in Early Modern Religious Dissents and Radicalism)
by Federico Barbierato
This book investigates the circulation, regulation, and interpretation of magical texts, focusing on the Clavicula Salomonis (Key of Solomon), one of the most sought-after and feared books of the time. Drawing on inquisitorial records, trial proceedings, and archival sources, Federico Barbierato uncovers how these texts were read, copied, and exchanged, illuminating the blurred boundaries between religious orthodoxy, scientific inquiry, and the occult."
