"In this volume, a microhistorical approach is employed to provide a transcription,
translation, and case-study of the proceedings (written in Latin, Italian, and Arabic)
of the Roman Inquisition on Malta's 1605 trial of the 'Moorish' slave Sellem Bin al-Sheikh
Mansur, who was accused and found guilty of practising magic and teaching it to the
local Christians. Through both a detailed commentary and individual case-studies,
it assesses what these proceedings reflect about religion, society, and politics both
on Malta and more widely across the Mediterranean in the early 17th century. In so
doing, this inter- and multi-disciplinary project speaks to a wide range of subjects,
including magic, Christian-Muslim relations, slavery, Maltese social history, Mediterranean
history, and the Roman Inquisition"
