Description

Explore the complex social and theological role of godparenthood in medieval and early-modern Europe through this scholarly examination of spiritual kinship in Italy between 1450 and 1650. This book reveals how baptism functioned not simply as religious ceremony but as a mechanism for creating spiritual families distinct from blood relations, fundamentally reshaping social bonds within Catholic communities. Through detailed analysis, the author demonstrates how the Catholic Church adapted and utilised these medieval concepts of godparenthood during a period of significant religious reform and challenge, showing how spiritual kinship ties remained essential to social organisation and religious identity across generations. Part of the Catholic Christendom, 1300-1700 series, this work provides essential historical insight into how spiritual relationships shaped early-modern Italian society and the broader development of Catholic doctrine and practice.
