Salomone da Sesso was a virtuoso goldsmith in Renaissance Italy. Brought down by a sex scandal, he saved his skin by converting to Catholicism. Tamar Herzig explores Salamone’s world—his Jewish upbringing, his craft and patrons, and homosexuality. In his struggle for rehabilitation, we see how precarious and contested was the meaning of conversion.

" Nato a Firenze a metà del Quattrocento da una famiglia ebraica, l’orafo Salomone da Sessa si trasferì a Ferrara, dove i suoi raffinati gioielli e le sue spade riccamente decorate erano ritenute di altissimo pregio dalle donne e dagli uomini di potere allora più importanti in Italia.Voci scandalose sul suo conto iniziarono a circolare all’interno della comunità ebraica, che lo denunciò alle autorità civili. Accusato di sodomia, Salomone fu condannato a morte e accettò di convertirsi per avere salva la vita. Nel 1491 venne così battezzato e prese il nome di Ercole de’ Fedeli. Grazie al sostegno di potenti mecenati come la duchessa Eleonora d’Aragona e il suo omonimo duca d’Este, Ercole visse poi da cattolico praticante per oltre un trentennio.Attraverso la drammatica vicenda di Salomone/Ercole e della sua famiglia, ricostruita sulla base di fonti archivistiche mai utilizzate prima, Tamar Herzig getta luce sulle relazioni ebraico-cristiane, il mecenatismo e l’omosessualità nelle città italiane del XV e XVI secolo e dimostra per la prima volta quanto la conversione degli ebrei fosse una questione centrale nella politica del Rinascimento, già cinquanta anni prima che la Chiesa ne facesse una priorità." "An intimate portrait, based on newly discovered archival sources, of one of the most famous Jewish artists of the Italian Renaissance who, charged with a scandalous crime, rejected his faith and converted to Catholicism. In 1491 the renowned Jewish goldsmith Salomone da Sesso converted to Catholicism. Born in the mid-fifteenth century to a Jewish family in Florence, Salomone later settled in Ferrara, where he was regarded as a virtuoso artist whose exquisite jewelry and lavishly engraved swords were prized by Italy's ruling elite. But rumors circulated about Salomone's behavior, scandalizing the Jewish community, who turned him over to the civil authorities. Charged with sodomy, Salomone was sentenced to die but agreed to renounce Judaism to save his life. He was baptized, taking the name Ercole "de' Fedeli" ("One of the Faithful"). With the help of powerful patrons like Duchess Eleonora of Aragon and Duke Ercole d'Este, his namesake, Ercole lived as a practicing Catholic for three more decades. Drawing on newly discovered archival sources, Tamar Herzig traces the dramatic story of his life, half a century before ecclesiastical authorities made Jewish conversion a priority of the Catholic Church"

In the first detailed history of All Souls College under the Wardenship of Bernard Gardiner, Jeffrey R. Wigelsworth offers a character driven story that addresses scheming, duplicity, and self-righteousness projected against some of the most important political and religious episodes of the early eighteenth century and the people who animated them. Throughout this book, Wigelsworth illuminates the ways in which All Souls and its warden were caught between competing visions of what England, and consequently Oxford, would look like in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
