While witch-hunting in Italy was mostly confined to the Alpine regions, this particular mass persecution was the only one to take place south of the Po river, and was fully endorsed by Pico. He, besides supporting the local inquisitor, wrote a learned dialogue, Strix, arguing for the necessity to exterminate the witches. His text was eventually translated into Italian (1524), the first book to be published on witchcraft in the vernacular. For more information and remote participation please write to [email protected]
Questo convegno è promosso nell'ambito dei progetti FAR "Le origini dell'Inquisizione romana" e PRIN "Digital Inquisition".
