Mostly, however, they evoke innocuous images of people reading their horoscopes or avoiding black cats. Certain religious practices might also come to mind-praying to St. Christopher or lighting candles for the dead. Benign as they might seem today, such practices were not always perceived that way. In medieval Europe superstitions were considered serious offenses, violations of essential precepts of Christian doctrine or immutable natural laws. But how and why did this come to be? In Fearful Spirits, Reasoned Follies, Michael D. Bailey explores the thorny concept of superstition as it was understood and debated in the Middle Ages.Bailey begins by tracing Christian thinking about superstition from the patristic period through the early and high Middle Ages. He then turns to the later Middle Ages, a period that witnessed an outpouring of writings devoted to superstition-tracts and treatises with titles such as De superstitionibus and Contra vitia superstitionum. Most were written by theologians and other academics based in Europe's universities and courts, men who were increasingly anxious about the proliferation of suspect beliefs and practices, from elite ritual magic to common healing charms, from astrological divination to the observance of signs and omens. As Bailey shows, however, authorities were far more sophisticated in their reasoning than one might suspect, using accusations of superstition in a calculated way to control the boundaries of legitimate religion and acceptable science. This in turn would lay the conceptual groundwork for future discussions of religion, science, and magic in the early modern world. Indeed, by revealing the extent to which early modern thinkers took up old questions about the operation of natural properties and forces using the vocabulary of science rather than of belief, Bailey exposes the powerful but in many ways false dichotomy between the "superstitious" Middle Ages and "rational" European modernity. 606 $aSuperstition$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aSuperstition$xReligious aspects$xCatholic Church$xHistory 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 615 0$aSuperstition$xHistory. 615 0$aSuperstition$xReligious aspects$xCatholic Church$xHistory. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 676 $a398/.41094 700 $aBailey$b Michael David$f1971-$01608257 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825748503321 996 $aFearful spirits, reasoned follies$94099059 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05483nam 2200805 a 450 001 9910818818903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-40117-3 010 $a9786612401176 010 $a90-474-2897-8 024 7 $a10.1163/ej.9789004175532.i-366 035 $a(CKB)1000000000821826 035 $a(EBL)468156 035 $a(OCoLC)570375494 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000336208 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11245446 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000336208 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10281721 035 $a(PQKB)10748932 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC468156 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789047428978 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL468156 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10349158 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL240117 035 $a(PPN)174391056 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000821826 100 $a20090305g20099999 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe Conversos and Moriscos in late medieval Spain and beyond /$fedited by Kevin Ingram 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aLeiden ;$aBoston $cBrill$d2009- 215 $a1 online resource (376 p.) 225 1 $aStudies in medieval and Reformation traditions ;$vv. 141/1 225 1 $aConverso and Morisco studies ;$vv. 1 300 $aConference papers. 311 08$aPrint version: The Conversos and Moriscos in late medieval Spain and beyond : Leiden ; Brill, 2009.

Ingram. 330 $aConverso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies publications will examine the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for medieval and modern Spanish culture. As the essays in this first volume attest, the study of the Converso and Morisco phenomena is not only important for those scholars focused on Spanish society and culture, but for academics everywhere interested in the issues of identity, Otherness, nationalism, religious intolerance and the challenges of modernity.
