About This Book

The book reconstructs an alleged conspiracy, the resulting Naples trials, and the reported madness of the Dominican Tommaso Campanella by combining narrative chapters with a rich body of primary documents. It presents viceregal letters, trial transcripts, clerical certificates, and eyewitness depositions to trace arrests, executions, and ecclesiastical procedures, and it examines contested confessions extracted under torture. The author supplements legal and political analysis with a collected sequence of previously unpublished documents and sixty-seven poems by Campanella, arranging material to separate archival fact from later biographical myth.
