The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara - Rilegato
Sinossi
On 23rd June 1858, a police posse and a Catholic inquisitor invaded the house of a Jewish merchant, Soloman Mortara, in Bologna, and seized his six-year-old son, Edgardo. With this scene, David Kertzer begins his investigation of the kidnapping that would eventually lead to the end of the church's governing power in Italy. It transpired that Edgardo has been secretly baptised years earlier by a Catholic servant and the law held that no Christian child could be brought up in a Jewish household. What followed made international history - although such kidnappings had been common this struggle came to symbolize the entire revolutionary campaign of Mazzini and Garibaldi to shake off the dominance of the Catholic church and establish a modern, secular state.

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Good. Trade Paperback. 350 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Picador, UK, 1997. *** CONDITION: This book is in good condition. More specifically: Covers have light creasing. Spine has moderate reading creases. . Edges of pages are reasonably browned. Pages are lightly tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Out of seemingly small events are sometimes born great historical moments. The case of young Edgardo Mortara is one. In 1858 the 6-year-old Jewish boy was taken from his parents' home in Bologna, Italy, by agents of the Papal inquisition. The year before, seriously ill, Edgardo had been secretly baptized, by the Mortaras' Catholic servant (or so she claimed); it was against the law for baptized Christians to be raised by Jews, and so, in the eyes of the Church, the kidnapping was entirely justified. Secular Italians did not agree, and thus was set in motion a series of reforms that ended the Church's temporal power in Italy and forged the creation of a liberal, near-democratic state. For his part, young Edgardo became a priest and lived in a Belgian abbey until 1940--just before the invading Germans began to deport and execute all those tainted with Jewish blood. David Kertzer has shaped a remarkable narrative from almost forgotten events. *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0330348787. ISBN/EAN: 9780330348782. Inventory No: 20110026.
