Unacceptable Social Behaviour or False Accusations: Croats in the Investigations of the Venetian Inquisition
The central theme of this work is directed towards the trials of Venetian Inquisition in which the main protagonists (the defendants) were the Croats from the wider area of East Adriatic coast during the period of the Early Modern Age. In the introductory part of the article, general data regarding the history of Venetian Inquisition and the types of its trials has been given, to be followed, through several chapters, by an analysis of trials conducted against the Croats. These trials are divided in four types: conversion to Islam, Protestantism, use of magic, that is popular superstition, and conduct considered improper of the clergymen (the secular and regular priests and other members of religious orders). The weight of the work is on the description of the investigating process, in the first place on the wider social conditions within which may be found the motivation, that is justification, for initiating the inquest. The analysis of the examples presented here shows that the motives for charging complaints very frequently laid within the conflicts and intolerance within small local communities and that the legal basis for punishing the accused rested on weak and badly argued grounds.
