Discover information, advice, and prices for Witchcraft and the Papacy An sold for 40.71 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
When Rainer Decker was researching a sensational seventeenthcentury German witchcraft trial he discovered much to his surprise that in this case the papacy functioned as a force of skepticism and restraint His curiosity piqued he tried unsuccessfully to gain access to a secret Vatican archive housing the records of the Roman Inquisition that had been sealed to outsiders from its sixteenthcentury beginnings In 1996 Decker was one of the first of a small group of scholars allowed access Originally published as Die Päpste und die Hexen Witchcraft and the Papacy is based on these newly available materials and traces the role of the papacy in witchcraft prosecutions from medieval times to the eighteenth century Decker found that although the medieval church did lay the foundation for witch hunts of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries the postmedieval papacy and the Roman and Spanish Inquisitions played the same kind of skeptical restraining role during the height of the witchhunting frenzy in Germany and elsewhere in Europe as it had in the trial that was the initial focus of his research Witchcraft and the Papacy overturns a large body of scholarship that confuses the medieval papacy with its markedly skeptical successors and that mistakenly portrays the papacy as fanning rather than quelling the flames of the witchcraft mania sweeping northern Europe from the midsixteenth century onward

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Sigmar Polke History of Everything sold at 25.13 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Sigmar Polke is one of the worlds most revered and influential contemporary artists This handsome book documents Polkes recent work which continues and deepens the artists famed explorations of how images are made used and thought about in our mediadominated culture The works also pose intriguing questions about how the eye and mind become crucial players in the perceptual game we undertake daily Using topical subject mattersuch as the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan and the Middle East and the everyday presence of guns in American lifeboth for its inherent content and metaphoric possibilities Polke has created a cohesively thematic yet ingeniously diverse group of monumental paintings and largescale drawings The source materials for these images are often drawn from American and European newspapers magazines and books All of this work by Polke reflects a fiercely intelligent yet remarkably accessible interpretation of how we perceive and misperceive the social political and aesthetic worlds that we live in In the text Charles Wylie discusses how Polkes recent work presents a coherent visual essay on the literal and symbolic construction of images Noted art critic Dave Hickey provides an interpretive essay on the artist and these new works Both essays are interspersed with a valuable compendium of Polkes source materials
