"A study of one of the largest Italian heretical communities, that developed in the city of Modena in the sixteenth century. Around the mid-sixteenth century, one of the largest Italian heterodox communities developed in Modena: the community of "Brothers". At the beginning of the century, a flourishing humanistic tradition had inspired protests against the authority of the Church and had led many of the city's prominent figures to sympathize with Luther and the Reformation. Over the following decades, such positions became more extreme: most of the "Brothers" held radical convictions, ranging from belief in predestination to contestation of the Antichrist pope. In some cases, the "Brothers" even went so far as to deny the value of baptism. This heterodox community in Modena created a hidden network for the free expression of its reformed faith. Within twenty years, however, the election of Pope Pius V (1566-1572) and the consolidation of the Holy Office led to a harsh campaign to disperse dissenters in the city. Despite the protection of illustrious members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, the bishops of Modena, and the dukes of Ferrara, the Holy Office succeeded in repressing the community. The history of the "Brothers" of Modena therefore provides a case study for understanding how the Inquisition influenced the balance of religious Italy, changing the face of the Peninsula forever."

Eating God examines the history of the Eucharist as a means for understanding transformations in society from the late Middle Ages onwards. After an introduction on the sacrament from its origins to the Protestant Reformation, this book considers how it changed the customs and habits of society, on not only behavioural and imaginative levels, but also artistic and figurative level. The author focuses on Counter-Reformation Italy as a laboratory for the whole of Christendom subject to Rome, and reflects on how, even today, the transformations of the modern age are relevant and influence contemporary debate. This book offers an innovative path through the history of a sacrament, with consideration of its impact as an ‘object’ that was used, venerated, eaten, depicted and celebrated far beyond the sphere of liturgical celebration. It will be particularly relevant to those interested in cultural history and the history of Christianity.

Il volume costituisce il primo studio complessivo sulla raccolta di oltre centomila autografi che il nobile modenese Giuseppe Campori (1821-1887) radunò nell’arco di una vita. La sua autografoteca, oggi conservata presso la Biblioteca Estense Universitaria di Modena, è presentata nel contesto del collezionismo dell’epoca: i vari saggi ne ripercorrono la costituzione e l’accrescimento, esplorando alcuni nuclei che mostrano la straordinaria ricchezza della documentazione. --Olschki
