All were investigated, and most were put on trial by the Holy Office of the Inquisition on a charge of heresy under various rubrics that might be translated as "pretense of holiness." Anne Jacobson Schutte looks closely at the institutional, cultural, and religious contexts that gave rise to the phenomenon of visionaries in Venice. To explain the worldview of the prosecutors as well as the prosecuted, Schutte examines inquisitorial trial dossiers, theological manuals, spiritual treatises, and medical works that shaped early modern Italians' understanding of the differences between orthodox Catholic belief and heresy. In particular, she demonstrates that socially constructed assumptions about males and females affected how the Inquisition treated the accused parties. The women charged with heresy were non-elites who generally claimed to experience ecstatic visions and receive messages; the men were usually clergy who responded to these women without claiming any supernatural experience themselves. Because they "should have known better," the men were judged more harshly by authorities. Placing the events in a context larger than just the inquisitorial process, Aspiring Saints sheds new light on the history of religion, the dynamics of gender relations, and the ambiguous boundary between sincerity and pretense in early modern Italy. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 18th century|2fast 648 7 1600-1799|2fast 650 0 Inquisition|zItaly|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009127260|zVenice.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79018142-781 650 0 Visionaries|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh96008896|zItaly|zVenice|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79018142-781|xHistory|y18th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 0 Holiness|xCatholic Church|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2020011980|xHistory of doctrines|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00006058 650 0 Discernment of spirits|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85038314|xHistory of doctrines|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00006058 650 0 Women in the Catholic Church|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85147612|xHistory|y18th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006124 650 7 Inquisition.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/973796 650 7 Visionaries.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1167906 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Holiness|xCatholic Church|xHistory of doctrines.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958758 650 7 Holiness|xCatholic Church.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1425536 650 7 Discernment of spirits|xHistory of doctrines.|2fast|0https ://id.worldcat.org/fast/894828 650 7 Discernment of spirits.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/894826 650 7 Women in the Catholic Church.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1177999 651 7 Italy|zVenice.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204473 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSchutte, Anne Jacobson.|tAspiring saints.|dBaltimore, Md. : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001|z0801865484|w(DLC) 00009314|w(OCoLC)43953893 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=75758|zOnline eBook.
