Description: Baltimore Md. : The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xxv,312 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - Struggles pitting humanists against scholastics and followers of Erasmus against conservative Catholics fill the traditional view of the period, but Homza (history, College of William and Mary) presents a more subtle paradigm and finds profound nuances in Spanish intellectual and religious history. She analyzes Inquisition trials, biblical translations, treatises on witchcraft, and tracts on the episcopate and penance to illuminate the autonomy and energy of Spain's ecclesiastics. Where other scholars complain of inconsistency in priestly thinking, she finds elasticity. ISBN 9780801862434.
