Specialist Notes
FIRST EDITION of this rare treatise on witchcraft. A Franciscan priest of Trentino origin, Benedetto Bonelli (1704-1783) was a passionate scholar of theological and moral questions. He distinguished himself in the anti-Jewish controversy by publishing studies on infanticides carried out for ritual purposes and was a staunch defender of religion and its customs. In this perspective he publishes Le & nbsp; a nimavversioni critical [...] & nbsp; in response to the Enlightenment positions expressed in & nbsp; Of the nocturnal congress of lammie , Rovereto, 1749, by the Rovereto Abbot Girolamo Tartarotti proving with a move that is to say the least tautological the existence of witchcraft on the basis of the existence of legislation on the subject and drawing on the Catholic tradition that intertwines the feminine with the demonic.
