In a time when modern science was taking its first steps, this kind of prodigy sometimes appeared as a sort of divine punishment for a moral fault, sometimes as a bizarre pastime, or political weapon, or a pre-medical investigation. By deepening such a multifaceted and constantly changing phenomenon, "A Marvellous and Strange Event" tries to build a complex analysis perspective on the English cultural and social history between the 16th and 18th century. 517 $a«A Marvellous and Strange Event» 517 $a«A Marvellous and Strange Event» 606 $aTales 615 0$aTales. 676 $a398.2 700 $aBaratta$b Luca$0762511 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571760603321 996 $a«A Marvellous and Strange Event»$93013698 997 $aUNINA
