A Companion to Religious Minorities in Early Modern Rome investigates the lives and stories of the many groups and individuals in Rome, between 1500 and approximately 1750, who were not Roman (Latin) Catholic. It shows how early modern Catholic people and institutions in Rome were directly influenced by their interactions with other religious traditions. This collection reveals the significant impact of Protestants, Muslims, Jews, and Eastern Rite Christians; the influence of the many transient groups and individual travelers who passed through the city; the unique contributions of converts to Catholicism, who drew on the religion of their birth; and the importance of intermediaries, fluent in more than one culture and religion.

Contributors include: Olivia Adankpo-Labadie, Robert John Clines, Matthew Coneys Wainwright, Serena Di Nepi, Irene Fosi, Mayu Fujikawa, Sam Kennerley, Emily Michelson, James Nelson Novoa, Cesare Santus, Piet van Boxel, and Justine A. Walden.

Reviews for A Companion to Religious Minorities in Early Modern Rome

“Each of the essays of this volume is meticulously researched and provides new insights on the presence of religious minorities in papal Rome. As a whole, they build on previous scholarship, push research in new directions, and offer a nuanced picture of how different religious minorities encountered Rome and Catholicism. Furthermore, each essay concludes with a brief suggestion for new avenues of research. […] The editors and the contributors have given us an excellent starting place to uncover the voices of religious minorities living in the very heart of the Catholic world.” John M. Hunt, Utah Valley University. In: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 8, No. 4 (September 2021), pp. 678–681.
