I am very grateful to @medievalists.bsky.social for sharing our article! It was a pleasure to adapt parts of our scholarly research for a wider readership.

🧵Recent historiography examines women's roles in the Inquisition. While women were central targets during the early modern witch hunts, our study investigates if a similar preoccupation with female suspects emerged in medieval religious persecutions. doi.org/10.1017/ssh.... #Medieval #Inquisition

🧵During the Memoria Histórica movement's heyday, I asked about my family's Civil War past. Someone said: You might not like what you find. Cercas' book has helped me comprehend: Why bother facing a mundane truth when time and victimhood allow you to craft heroic family myths—like everyone else does?

🧵Not long ago, @pnasnexus.org featured this paper! doi.org/10.1093/pnas... In this study, we analyze endogeneity in denunciation patterns, using records from a 14th-century inquisitorial trial in Piedmont (Italy), which involved around 250 local residents. #socialnetworks #denunciation #inquisition
