Abstract

Yet another book on witches and witchcraft? Although numerous, studies on this phenomenon that had such a profound influence on the political, social and religious history of the late Middle Ages and the early modern age in Europe can never be enough. At this time the political regimes were actively involved in the witch hunts, not least the Catholic church which was intensely engaged in developing instruments of control aimed at governing and curbing dissent. The book is broken down into thematic sections – rules, treatises and trials, transmission /possession – which reflect the multiplicity of the scientific proposals that have emerged in recent years, and also represent a conscious preliminary orientation of possible readings. At centre stage of the witchcraft show are the witches and their judges, from the theologians and philosophers to the exorcists. As well as addressing actual events, the book also explores the nature of the beliefs and the way in which they were transmitted in the various social strata, and the phenomenon of diabolical possession which conveyed the message of the presence of the devil in the world.

Abstract

La Réforme orthodoxe est la première analyse sociohistorique complète du processus centenaire de rénovation conservatrice de l’Église orthodoxe grecque, un processus qui a vu le passage à une religion « moderne », l’innovation religieuse et l’activisme social rimer avec l’affirmation de l’intolérance sur les plans religieux et politique. S’appuyant sur des recherches approfondies dans les archives publiques et religieuses de Grèce, de France et du Vatican, ainsi que sur un éventail impressionnant de pamphlets et de périodiques publiés tout autour de la Méditerranée orientale, l’ouvrage brosse un tableau sans précédent de ce que l’on peut appeler la composante grecque-orthodoxe de la confessionnalisation ottomane tardive. Remettant en question les récits d’un lien ininterrompu entre une Église orthodoxe immuable ancrée dans la tradition et un État national grec pratiquant l’intolérance religieuse depuis sa fondation, ce livre soutient que la configuration politico-religieuse actuelle de la Grèce est le produit des transformations majeures survenues pendant l’entre-deux-guerres, lorsque le zèle des activistes orthodoxes de Grèce et de l’Empire ottoman a profité de la crise sociale et nationale dramatique qui a suivi la Katastrophi de 1922 pour finalement donner l’impulsion à ce que l’on peut appeler à juste titre la version orthodoxe de la réforme et inaugurer une modernité grecque-orthodoxe. The Orthodox Reform is the first comprehensive sociohistorical account of the century-long process of the conservative renovation of the Greek orthodox church, a process that saw the passage to a “modern” religion, religious innovation and social activism come to rime with intolerance on both the religious and political fields. Based on extensive research in public and religious archives of Greece, France and the Vatican as well as an impressive array of pamphlets and periodicals published all around the Eastern Mediterranean, it paints an unprecedented picture of what can be…
