Recenzii
'This book makes a sterling contribution to the broader debate about early modern mentalities, and as such deserves a wide readership. It will be especially useful to scholars of the Inquisition (there is an excellent overview of how business was conducted in the Venetian tribunal) and to historians of exorcism: the sections on how Venetian exorcists were trained and how they plied their trade are masterful.' Jonathan Wright, Journal of European Studies
'Seitz provides a detailed reconsideration of Venetian witch trials, focusing on medical understandings rooted in inquisitorial procedure and popular mentalities … makes a significant contribution to the history of medicine in early modern Italy, and one welcomes a future expansion of his findings.' David Lederer, Bulletin of the History of Medicine
