Overview
Key facts
Magic was a serious matter in early modern Italy. Intellectuals, priests, artisans and peasants all agreed that demons and angels were capable of intervening in the natural order and that skilled humans could use magic to produce wondrous, perhaps harmful, effects.
Taking Italy as a case study, this course considers why beliefs that are deemed incredible today were held to be not only plausible but entirely rational in early modern Europe.
University College London (UCL) offers the Enchanted Italy - Magic, Religion and Science from 1400 to 1800 programme.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- the intellectual, religious and social foundations for belief in magic
- why some individuals openly defended magical practices
- the ‘scientific’ basis for magical belief
- the motivations driving the trials for magic and witchcraft
- whether belief in magic has truly been relegated to the past
