Attraverso scritti e processi inquisitoriali spesso inediti si delineano affinità e percorsi comuni all'interno di quell'eclettica e dirompente eresia spagnola cresciuta tra i conversos del Quattrocento, maturata negli ambienti di alumbrados della Spagna degli anni Venti-Trenta e fatta conoscere in Europa attraverso le straordinarie esperienze di Juan de Valdés e Miguel Servet.
Il vangelo e la spada. L'Inquisizione di Castiglia e i suoi critici (1460-1598)

Who owns the spaces of religion? Does the question matter, or even make sense? Modern distinctions between sacred and secular spheres tend to assume that clergy dominate the former, and lay people the latter. A man or woman living in the early modern period might not have been so sure. They would have thought more immediately of things of heaven and things of earth, and would have seen each as the concern of clergy and laity alike. Faith’s boundaries, while real, were very porous. This collection offers the first sustained comparative examination of lay–clerical relations in confraternities through the late medieval and early modern periods. It shows how laity and clergy debated, accommodated, resolved, or deflected the key issues of gender, race, politics, class, and power. The sixteen essays are organized into six sections that consider different aspects of the function of confraternities as social spaces where laity and clergy met, mediated, and sometimes competed and fought. They cover a period historically when kinship was a dominant metaphor in religious life and when kinship groups like confraternities were dominant models in religious institutions. They deal with Catholic, Jewish, and Islamic confraternities, and range geographically from Europe to the Middle East, Central and South Asia, and Latin America.
(con G. Caravale), ed. by, John Tedeschi, Intellettuali in esilio. Dall'Inquisizione romana al fascismo, Roma, Edizioni di Storia e Letteratura, 2012

Esuli sono gli eretici italiani del Cinquecento protagonisti di gran parte dei contributi che compongono la seconda parte di questo libro, costretti a lasciare la penisola italiana per motivi religiosi, stanchi di dissimulare l’adesione a dottrine religiose ormai condannate dagli organi repressivi romani e ansiosi di trovare nuove patrie disposte ad accogliere le proprie famiglie e ad ascoltare le proprie idee, diffondendo così nel nord Europa il meglio della cultura rinascimentale italiana. Esuli sono alcuni degli intellettuali, come Paul Oskar Kristeller, che animano la terza ed ultima sezione del volume, forzatamente indotti ad abbandonare l’Italia, patria di studi umanistici e filologici, dalla sciagurata legislazione antiebraica, ultimo pegno pagato dall’Italia mussoliniana all’infausta alleanza nazi-fascista, pronti ad attraversare l’oceano per trovare accoglienza nel più sicuro continente americano. Esule, infine, l’autore del volume, costretto ad abbandonare insieme alla propria famiglia la città di Ferrara alla tenera età di otto anni per trasferirsi negli Stati Uniti, destinato a diventare anch’egli un famoso intellettuale in esilio, proprio come i protagonisti di molti dei suoi studi qui finalmente raccolti.
