i would like to extend an official apology to all 2 followers of mine who read my book quotes; i started doing that to keep myself reading regularly, but i reached a point where i DO read regularly anyway and it's more of an extra task than it is helpful. Now this is apparently a bird image/mkultra meme blog, I'll see if i can eventually get back to some kinda history/theory quote posting again tho, maybe just less regularly 🙏

Joel Harrington - The Faithful Executioner

The tragic origin story of Franz Schmidt, eventual Executioner of Nuremberg.

R. I. Moore - The First European Revolution

I'll be honest im not convinced by his main argument in the book, but i liked this description of saints, miracles, and the role they played mediating between the classes.

Carlo Ginzburg - The Cheese and the Worms

Cutting directly to Domenico Scandella (Menocchio)'s heresy trial(s), so we can understand his worldview and how it gets built. Ginzburg lists some texts here and the specific components out of which Menocchio constructed his arguments. Specifically Ginzburg claims (and I think since the release of the book this has been contested) that Menocchio bases his view on an older, more inclusive, "popular" cultural heritage, which is then (half-) scholastically grounded and justified by, for example, Menocchio himself through his interrogation, trial, and honestly just through the guy's fuckin life. I found him EXTREMELY relatable; I read the Manifesto at a young age without any real organized support, and similarly had to cobble together a worldview based on disparate shit I came across lol. It's really nice seeing this very human side of a normal guy, living in a relative backwater, 500 years ago.

Andrew Drummond - The Dreadful History and Judgement of God on Thomas Müntzer

Ah fuck it you're grown ups you can read the whole conclusion, presented with only one minor edit. There wasn't really a good way to summarize it and it's only 9 pages; no need for commentary even, it says what I'd say.
