Book Description
With research sourced by the world's greatest libraries, Robbins has compiled a rational, balanced history of 300 years of horror concentrated primarily in Western Europe. Spanning from the 15th century through the 18th century, the witch-hunt frenzy marks a period of suppressed rational thought; never before have so many been so wrong. To better understand this phenomenon, Robbins examines how the meaning of "witch" has evolved and exposes the true nature of witchcraft—a topic widely discussed in popular culture, though remarkably misunderstood. First published in 1959, Robbins' encyclopedia remains the most authoritative and comprehensive body of information about witchcraft and demonology ever compiled in a single volume. Lavishly acclaimed in academic and popular reviews, this full-scale compendium of fact, history, and legend covers about every phase of this fascinating subject from its origins in the medieval times to its last eruptions in the 18th century. Accompanying the text are 250 illustrations from rare books, contemporary prints, and old manuscripts, many of which have been published here for the first time.

Diccionario Infernal
Author: Jacques Collin de PlancyPublisher:
ISBN: 9781466499669
Category :
Languages : es
Pages : 398
Book Description
Diccionario Infernal. Cuadro general de lo imaginario, simbólico y fantasioso de los seres, personajes, hechos, apariciones, de la llamada magia blanca y negra, infierno, adivinaciones, ciencias secretas, prodigios, tradiciones y cuentos populares, y creencias sobrenaturales. Tomo II. Formato 5.5 X 8.5. 397 págs.Uno de los trabajos más extensos y populares sobre este tema fue recopilado de diferentes fuentes por Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy (1793-1887), ocultista y demonólogo francés, editor de populares trabajos sobre ocultismo y demonología. Collin de Plancy siguió la tradición de muchos demonólogos previos, de catalogar a los demonios por el nombre y el título de nobleza. Su obra más conocida fue el Dictionnaire Infernal, libro de ilustraciones a manera de diccionario ilustrado de demonología. Su primera publicación fue en 1818, pero para la segunda edición de 1863, Louis Breton creó un conjunto de 69 ilustraciones de los demonios descritos en el libro y que fueron añadidas al trabajo de Collin de Plancy. Ambas ediciones fueron publicadas en francés originalmente. El demonio ha sido una de las figuras culturales más recurrentes y que más fascinación han suscitado a través de la historia de la civilización occidental. El diablo conecta con la parte oscura de nosotros, con lo que censuramos, con los 7 pecados capitales (lujuria, pereza, ira, envidia, gula soberbia, avaricia). Psicológicamente es un arquetipo turbulento, pues representa el lado posesivo, irracional y tentador. Su figura ocupa un lugar destacado en el universo cristiano, tanto en la literatura como en las iglesias medievales. Satán aparece, en los frescos, detrás de los capiteles de las columnas románicas, Satán deslumbra en los vitrales góticos y se enfrenta a los ángeles. Satán es el héroe caído, el Príncipe de las Tinieblas; Lucifer, el personaje más fascinante del Paraíso Perdido por la tentación de la serpiente. En la edad media, la brujería y la demonología alcanzaron nuevas dimensiones a merced del espíritu de crisis social que se vivía en grandes sectores de la sociedad. Con la repentina aparición del tema producto de la crisis material y espiritual de aquel entonces. Se buscaron culpables y así se inició la persecución por parte de las iglesias cristianas europeas de herejes y brujas. Según la creencia difundida, el demonio se apoyaba en sus aliados: brujas y herejes para luchar contra las fuerzas del bien. Por tal razón, desde el Medievo hasta el Renacimiento el demonio ha sido una constante tangible y concreta que proyecta los aspectos más siniestros y grotescos de nuestro inconsciente con el que jamás hemos llegado a conectar y que, por consiguiente, ha permanecido en su estado salvaje original, un ser mitad hombre y mitad bestia, con su aspecto de macho cabrío, con alas de murciélago y cuernos, pezuñas de cabra o de ave depredadora, con olor a azufre y piel fría como reptil repulsivo, es un ser de naturaleza monstruosa y expresión de desenfreno. Estos mitos, creencias e imágenes mentales medievales, producto del inconsciente colectivo, pasaron de la Edad Media al Renacimiento europeo y luego más tarde a la época de la Ilustración en donde fueron recopiladas por Collin de Plancy para su Diccionario.

Criminology and Criminal Policy Movements
Author: Eugenio Raúl ZaffaroniPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0761858520
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 495
Book Description
"These studies recover the historical roots of thinking that are in conflict with, and critical of, present-day tendencies. Criminological theory over the last few decades has oscillated between extremes: on one side there are calls for increasing the state exercise of punitive power as the only means of providing security, in the face of both urban and international rime; while the other side highlights the need for reducing the exercise of punitive power because of the paradoxical effects that it produces. Useful for academics, practitioners, professionals and students, this book will certainly contribute to a wider awareness in crime prevention and criminal justice."--Publisher's website.
Women, Witchcraft, and the Inquisition in Spain and the New World
Author: María Jesús Zamora CalvoPublisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807176443
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Women, Witchcraft, and the Inquisition in Spain and the New World investigates the mystery and unease surrounding the issue of women called before the Inquisition in Spain and its colonial territories in the Americas, including Mexico and Cartagena de Indias. Edited by María Jesús Zamora Calvo, this collection gathers innovative scholarship that considers how the Holy Office of the Inquisition functioned as a closed, secret world defined by patriarchal hierarchy and grounded in misogynistic standards. Ten essays present portraits of women who, under accusations as diverse as witchcraft, bigamy, false beatitude, and heresy, faced the Spanish and New World Inquisitions to account for their lives. Each essay draws on the documentary record of trials, confessions, letters, diaries, and other primary materials. Focusing on individual cases of women brought before the Inquisition, the authors study their subjects’ social status, particularize their motivations, determine the characteristics of their prosecution, and deduce the reasons used to justify violence against them. With their subjection of women to imprisonment, interrogation, and judgment, these cases display at their core a specter of contempt, humiliation, silencing, and denial of feminine selfhood. The contributors include specialists in the early modern period from multiple disciplines, encompassing literature, language, translation, literary theory, history, law, iconography, and anthropology. By considering both the women themselves and the Inquisition as an institution, this collection works to uncover stories, lives, and cultural practices that for centuries have dwelled in obscurity.
Idolatry and the Construction of the Spanish Empire
Author: Mina García SoormallyPublisher: University Press of Colorado
ISBN: 1607328011
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
An ethnohistory on the spiritual and governmental conquest of the indigenous people in colonial Mexico, Idolatry and the Construction of the Spanish Empire examines the role played by the shifting concept of idolatry in the conquest of the Americas, as well as its relation to the subsequent construction of imperial power and hegemony. Contrasting readings of evangelization plays and chronicles from the Indies and legislation and literature produced in Spain, author Mina García Soormally places theoretical analysis of state formation in Colonial Latin America within the historical context. The conquest of America was presented, in its first instances, as a virtual extension of the Reconquista, which had taken place in Spain since 711, during which Spaniards fought to build an empire based in part on religious discrimination. The fight against the “heathens” (Moors and Jews) provided the experience and mindset to practice the repression of the other, making Spain a cultural laboratory that was transported across the Atlantic Ocean. Idolatry and the Construction of the Spanish Empire is a wide-ranging explication of religious orthodoxy and unorthodoxy during Spain’s medieval and early modern period as they relate to idolatry, with analysis of events that occurred on both sides of the Atlantic. The book contributes to the growing field of transatlantic studies and explores the redefinition that took place in Europe and in the colonies.
