Descrizione del libro

An examination of how lay religious confraternities in Italy shaped early ritual kinship. This 1999 book discusses how sixteenth-century social change and religious reform transformed confraternities, and how these altered groups became key agents in achieving the more rigid social order of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
