| Abstract: | The paper centres on the records of trials of the Venetian Inquisition (Santo Uffizio, Savi all'Eresia) stored at the State Archives of Venice (Archivio di Stato di Venezia) and related to persons coming from the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea. The time span examined is from the 16th to the mid-18th centuries while the trial records are divided into four major categories: conversion to Islam, Protestantism, magic, and inappropriate behaviour of clergymen. The trials and rhetoric of all key protagonists - prosecutor, defendant, representative of the Venetian Inquisition - are analysed based on investigation records. The paper presents the fundamental characteristics of each group in terms of accusations and their presentation to the Venetian Santo Uffizio. The trial process, participants and circumstances significantly differ in relation to each group, depending on the political, social, religious and - regarding the group of conversion to Islam - military circumstances. In this group of trials (conversion to Islam) the Inquisition was the institution that the person, originally Christian but due to specific circumstances a member of the Islamic religious and social environment, turned to in repentance wishing to resume a life in accordance with the principles of the Catholic church. The accusations are not available and the records only include the repenting statements characterised by unvarying rhetoric aiming to exculpate life in the Islamic world and, after doing penance, return to the original creed. In the other trial groups the rhetoric of the prosecution and defence is much more clear. With reference to Protestantism but also accusations of magic rituals or inappropriate behaviour of clergymen the charges were regularly made by people who shared the same environment with the defendants (town, commune, monastic or clerical community). The accusations were - and the Santo Uffizio was well aware of this - frequently triggered by interpersonal conflicts, hatred, and intolerance within small groups. Protestantism, magic, and - if clergymen were concerned - moral deviations, were attractive accusations easily endowed with the necessary rhetoric and concrete enough for the prosecutors to present them to the Inquisition despite the frequent lack of evidence. The concluding act of the majority of these accusations, given their unreal grounds, was their storage in the archives of the Santo Uffizio and not the initiation of a trial |
