Girolamo Savonarola was a late 15th century Dominican friar who rose to become a preacher, prophet, and politician. He took on the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church and despotic rulers including the powerful Medicis. He was both progressive - helping to lay the foundations of the Reformation and the Enlightenment - but also fundamentalist and deeply unsettling. In this episode, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to award-winning author Denise Mina, whose novel Three Fires tells the story of Savonarola and his role in the bonfire of the vanities - the burning of objects considered sinful, such as cosmetics, mirrors, books, and art.This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.Discover the past with exclusive history documentaries and ad-free podcasts presented by world-renowned historians from History Hit.

In Jewish Socratic Questions in an Age Without Plato: Permitting and Forbidding Open-Inquiry in 12-15th Century Europe and North Africa (Brill, 2021), Yehuda Halper examines Jewish depictions of Socrates and Socratic questioning of the divine among European and North African Jews of the 12th-15th centuries. Without direct access to Plato, their understanding of Socrates is indirect, based on legendary material, on fragmentary quotations from Plato, or on Aristotle. Out of these sources, Jewish authors of this period formed two distinct views of Socrates: one as a wise, ascetic, monotheist, and the other as a vocal skeptic. The latter view has its roots in Plato's Apology where Socrates describes his divine mandate to question all knowledge, including knowledge of the divine. After exploring how this and similar questions arise in the works of Judah Halevi and the Hebrew Averroes, Halper traces how such open-questioning of the divine arises in the works of Maimonides, Jacob Anatoli, Gersonides, and Abraham Bibago.

Imagine stepping back into the brilliant opulence of 15th century Italian fashion with none other than esteemed author, Tim McCall as our guide. Picture the Italian princes adorned in radiant attire, their shining bodies reflecting their wealth and power. Not just a dazzling display, this episode uncovers the intricate Sumtuary Laws, the rules that dictated the length, color, and type of clothing according to status. And buckle up, because there's an intriguing twist: the severe consequences that came with attempting to deceive buyers with counterfeit gems and gold.But this journey doesn't stop at the glistening surface. We go behind the scenes of the silk production that engulfed Italy in the 1300s, culminating in a fashion peak in Milan in the 15th century. We'll trace the pathways of Isabella D'Este, dubbed the 'Jackie Kennedy of the Renaissance', navigating the royal courts of Europe with her refined sense of fashion, even as she traded dress dolls to keep up with international fashion trends. And just when you thought it couldn't get more interesting, we dive into the her riveting correspondence, and some tantalizing discoveries about Isabella's role as a patron of the arts.Finally, we take a detour into Renaissance masculinity and fashion. You won't want to miss the tale of a 15th-century Italian prince's quest for self-fashioning, complete with fresco cycles and a desire for whiter teeth in a time before modern dentistry. As we wrap up, we'll delve into the creation of Tim's new book 'Making the Renaissance Man', a treasure trove of insights about this vibrant period. So, come along on this fascinating journey into the heart of Renaissance Italy. You won't be disappointed.Farmers and Nobles traces the research path of blogger and podcast host Bob Sorrentino. Bob began researching his family roots in 2008 beginning with his great-grandfather's calling card brought from Italy by his paternal grandmother Maria Luigia Piromallo. https://www.italiangenealogy.blog/farmers-and-nobles/Brilliant Bodies Italian court culture of the fifteenth century was a golden age, gleaming dazzling princesDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Six hundred years ago, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani —an esteemed judge, poet, and scholar in Cairo— wrote “Merits of the Plague,” a landmark work of history and religious thought that looked at accounts of centuries worth of plague outbreak and their possible origins, along with explanations of why God would allow such devastation to take place. This work wasn't only theoretical but also based on experience. He survived the bubonic plague, which took the lives of three of his children, not to mention tens of millions of others throughout the medieval world. Holding up an eerie mirror to our own time, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani reflects on the origins of plagues—from those of Muhammad's era to the Black Death of his own—and what it means that such catastrophes could have been willed by God, while also chronicling the fear, isolation, scapegoating, economic tumult, political failures, and crises of faith that he lived through. But in considering the meaning of suffering and mass death, he also offers a message of radical hope. Today's guests are Joel Blecher and Mairaj Syed, editors and translators of the book into modern English. We discuss the book and how it weaves together accounts of evil jinn, religious stories, medical manuals, death-count registers, poetry, and the author's personal anecdotes. “Merits of the Plague” is a profound reminder that with tragedy comes one of the noblest expressions of our humanity: the practice of compassion, patience, and care for those around us.

The Vatican has rejected the six-centuries-old “Doctrine of Discovery” that helped justify the occupation and takeover of Indigenous Peoples' lands throughout colonial times, and still today forms the basis of property law in many parts of the world. In the U.S. and Canada, the doctrine has also been used to defend the unjust acquisition of land in legal disputes in their Supreme Courts. The decision by the Vatican comes after Pope Francis made a historic long-awaited and promised apology for the Catholic Church's involvement in the operation of residential schools and the abuses perpetrated in this system of education for more than a century by clergy and consecrated religious men and women.

When you think of witchcraft in earlier centuries, you probably think of stereotypically wizened women, huddled around cauldrons or casting curses. You probably wouldn't immediately think of royal witches. Yet within the space of a single century, there were four women in England's royal family that fell prey to witchcraft accusations. Whether they actually practiced witchcraft is unknown, and quite honestly, it's unlikely they did. Rather, the accusations served a political purpose for those around them. So who were Joan of Navarre, Eleanor Cobham, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, and Elizabeth Woodville? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

The DARK History of Azkaban Prison (15th Century - Present) - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing Azkaban Prison. This will include discussions surrounding the island that it's on, when the prison was introduced, who created the prison itself, and WHERE the island actually IS. Considered by many to be reminiscent of the DEPTHS of HELL- Azkaban Prison would be the last place that a witch or wizard in the Harry Potter universe would want to end up. In fact, the name ‘Azkaban' even backs up this horrific reputation- a sinister name that was created through combining ‘Alcatraz' a famous Muggle island prison, and ‘Abaddon' - the Hebrew word for ‘place of destruction' OR ‘depths of hell'. But where did this terrible place come from? Was the island that housed Azkaban prison always a magnet for dark magic? Before the fortress was built, what was the island like? The truth is, before the dark wizard known as Ekrizdis ever set foot on the island, Azkaban was an island just like any other. When we think of the significant Dark Wizards in Wizarding history, Ekrizdis isn't necessarily the most well-known, but after this video- he might just be the FIRST Dark wizard that comes to mind. You see, Ekrizdis was a practitioner of the worst kinds of dark arts imaginable. Very little is known about Ekrizdis, other than the fact that he was alive during the 15th century, and that he was evil-pure evil. No one even knows his nationality. But what we do know is that Ekrizdis was the first dark wizard..or maybe even the first PERSON to ever step foot on the island that would later support Azkaban's dark fortress.

Stephen Greenblatt wrote a fascinating book The Swerve about the rediscovery in 1417 of a work of philosophy from antiquity. The Nature of Things was written by Lucretius a few years before the birth of Christ. It provides an account of the world profoundly at odds with religion - atomism and epicureanism. Stephen's thesis is that over time the implications of this work changed the course of history. We start the story at the Council of Constance. Christendom has three popes and is figuring out how to reduce this to a more manageable number. An employee of one of the losing popes, one Poggio Bracciolini, now has time on his hands and spends it hunting for old manuscripts in remote monasteries . . .

Historically Speaking-Uncommon History with an Unconventional Pair

Almost six centuries have come and gone and we're still talking about an illiterate peasant girl who only lived to be nineteen years old. Why? Not only did she inspire her nation by leading thousands of men into battle, but she also ushered in the end of the Hundred's Year War thus saving her nation of France from English rule. Was she divinely inspired or was she a schizophrenic who heard the voices of martyred saints in her head? We may never know the answer to that question, but here in Episode 28 we unpack a lot about Joan of Arc.Episode Edit: In the interest of accuracy and fairness, in 1450, almost twenty years after Joan's death, King Charles VII did himself have a retrial of Joan which vindicated her. This was before Pope Calixtus III (1455-1458) also had a retrial. To Charles' credit, he couldn't have the retrial until he did because it wasn't until late 1449 that he and French forces were able to take Rouen where Joan's trial and burning occurred and where all the papers and documents related to the trial were located.Books: The Hundred Years War by Edouard Perroy (translated from the French) Joan: The Mysterious Life of The Heretic Who Became a Saint by Donald Spoto  The Life of Joan of Arc by Anatole France (translated from the French)The Fifteenth Century 1399-1485 by E.F.

He offers a fascinating glimpse into the practice of astrology in the fifteenth century. He addresses the interesting differences between astrological manuscripts and printed material, the political aspects of annual astrological predictions, the use of astrology as a mark of higher education, and the complex dynamics of patronage. Alexandre’s PhD thesis, intituled ‘Hora introitus solis in Arietem: Les prédictions astrologiques annuelles latines dans l’Europe du XVe siècle (1405–1484)’ was published in 2018.
