Hardback. Condition: New. An intimate portrait, based on newly discovered archival sources, of one of the most famous Jewish artists of the Italian Renaissance who, charged with a scandalous crime, renounced his faith and converted to Catholicism.In 1491 the renowned goldsmith Salomone da Sesso converted to Catholicism. Born in the mid-fifteenth century to a Jewish family in Florence, Salomone later settled in Ferrara, where he was regarded as a virtuoso artist whose exquisite jewelry and lavishly engraved swords were prized by Italy's ruling elite. But rumors circulated about Salomone's behavior, scandalizing the Jewish community, who turned him over to the civil authorities. Charged with sodomy, Salomone was sentenced to die but agreed to renounce Judaism to save his life. He was baptized, taking the name Ercole "de' Fedeli" ("One of the Faithful"). With the help of powerful patrons like Duchess Eleonora of Aragon and Duke Ercole d'Este, his namesake, Ercole lived as a practicing Catholic for three more decades. Drawing on newly discovered archival sources, Tamar Herzig traces the dramatic story of his life, half a century before ecclesiastical authorities made Jewish conversion a priority of the Catholic Church.A Convert's Tale explores the Jewish world in which Salomone was born and raised; the glittering objects he crafted, and their status as courtly hallmarks; and Ercole's relations with his wealthy patrons. Herzig also examines homosexuality in Renaissance Italy, the response of Jewish communities and Christian authorities to allegations of sexual crimes, and attitudes toward homosexual acts among Christians and Jews. In Salomone/Ercole's story we see how precarious life was for converts from Judaism, and how contested was the meaning of conversion for both the apostates' former coreligionists and those tasked with welcoming them to their new faith.

Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Baldassarri S. U. e Downey D.Roma, 2023; br., pp. 400, cm 12x24.(La Storia. Temi). Nato a Firenze a metà del Quattrocento da una famiglia ebraica, l'orafo Salomone da Sessa si trasferì a Ferrara, dove i suoi raffinati gioielli e le sue spade riccamente decorate erano ritenute di altissimo pregio dalle donne e dagli uomini di potere allora più importanti in Italia. Voci scandalose sul suo conto iniziarono a circolare all'interno della comunità ebraica, che lo denunciò alle autorità civili. Accusato di sodomia, Salomone fu condannato a morte e accettò di convertirsi per avere salva la vita. Nel 1491 venne così battezzato e prese il nome di Ercole de' Fedeli. Grazie al sostegno di potenti mecenati come la duchessa Eleonora d'Aragona Ercole visse poi da cattolico praticante per oltre un trentennio. Attraverso la drammatica vicenda di Salomone/Ercole, ricostruita sulla base di fonti archivistiche mai utilizzate prima, Tamar Herzig getta luce sulle relazioni ebraico-cristiane, il mecenatismo e l'omosessualità nelle città italiane del XV e XVI secolo e dimostra per la prima volta quanto la conversione degli ebrei fosse una questione centrale nella politica del Rinascimento, già cinquanta anni prima che la Chiesa ne fa facesse una priorità. Libro.
