Description

Explore the complex social and religious structures of early-modern Italy with Fathers and Godfathers: Spiritual Kinship in Early-Modern Italy. This scholarly work examines the concept of spiritual birth through the lens of baptism, a practice that created deep social bonds beyond traditional blood relations. By looking at the period between 1450 and 1650, the book provides a detailed look at how godparents and godfathers functioned within the social fabric of Catholic Christendom. This study investigates how the Catholic Church managed and utilized these spiritual ties during a time of significant reform and challenge. It moves beyond simple religious ritual to show how spiritual kinship served as a tool for social organization. Readers will gain a better understanding of how theological shifts influenced the way families and communities were built in Italy between 1300 and 1700. This text is an essential resource for those studying European history, religious studies, and the social evolution of the early-modern era.
