In The Midst Of The Religious Ferment, Foreign Invasions, And Internal Political Strife That Beset Italy Before The Full Effects Of The Counterreformation, The Powerful And Humble Alike Turned To Popular Prophecy For Guidance And Solace. Ottavia Niccoli Examines Here The Forms Of These Propheciesincluding Interpretations Of Natural Disasters, Abnormal Births, Floods, And Planetary Conjunctionsand Gives Examples Of How They Were Transmitted From The Lower Classes To The Elite Through Street Singers, Apocalyptic Preachers, Astrologers, And Printers. By Tracing The Ongoing Revision Of The Prophecies, Niccoli Reveals Them As An Indication Of How Various Levels Of Society Viewed Events Of The Time, As A Form Of Propaganda For Such Causes As Antilutheranism, And As A Reflection Of The Interaction Between 'High' And 'Low' Culture.Based On Popular Leaflets, Diaries, Civic Chronicles, And Iconographic Sources, This Book Explores The Expression Of A Culture In Which Nature, Religion, And Politics Formed A Unified System With A Uniform Code Of Interpretation. It Connects The Decline Of Prophecy In Italy With The End Of The Italian Wars And The Beginning Of The Counterreformation, When Popular Preaching Was Banned And Charismatic Religion Discouraged.
