Seminario La “Guida spirituale” di Miguel de Molinos tra Palermo e Siviglia

The Department of Cultures and Society at the University of Palermo recently hosted two seminars led by Prof. Pedro Ramirez Rueda (University of Barcelona), the first scholar to visit the University of Palermo with a TNA grant as part of the ITSERR project.

The first seminar focused on Miguel de Molinos’ Spiritual Guide and its connections between Palermo and Seville, shedding light on the historical and intellectual ties between these two cities. Professor Rueda provided an in-depth analysis of Molinos’ work, examining its influence on religious thought and its significance within the broader European intellectual landscape.

The second seminar, titled “From the Old to the New World: Circulation and Consumption of Printed Books between Europe and Latin America (16th-17th centuries)”, explored the movement of printed materials across the Atlantic, highlighting the dynamics of book circulation and readership between Europe and Latin America during the early modern period.

Both events attracted a diverse audience of scholars, students, and researchers interested in early modern spirituality, book history, and historical cultural exchanges.
