"During the Counter-Reformation, inquisition manual authors working in Italian lands
adapted the Catholic Church's traditional tactics of inquisitorial procedure, which
had been formulated in the medieval period, to the prosecution of philo-Protestants.
Through a comparison of the texts of four such authors to contemporary inquisition
processes, Jane K. Wickersham situates the Roman inquisition's prosecution of philo-Protestants
within the larger framework of the complex religious upheavals of the sixteenth century
; Identifying the critical role played by ritual practice in discovering and prosecuting
heretical subjects, Wickersham uncovers two core reasons for its use: first, as a
practical means of prosecuting a variety of philo-Protestant beliefs, and second,
as an approach firmly grounded within the Catholic Church's history of prosecuting
heresy. Finally, Rituals of Prosecution provides an in-depth examination of the inquisitorial
processes of urban residents from humble socio-economic backgrounds, providing new
insight into how the prosecution of ordinary people was conducted in the early modern
era."--pub. desc
