| Description | This paper presents my current research in individual religiosity and religious “bricolage” in some medieval inquisitional registers. It focuses on the potential as well as the limits of this kind of sources, on theories and methods used in this research, on the possible research questions and central concepts. Among methods, it discusses the contribution of narrative research methods and qualitative research methods (including the use of CAQDAS – computer assisted qualitative data analysis software). To present these theories and methods and this type of research in general, the paper chooses the case of Armanno Pungilupo of Ferrara, who was buried in the cathedral of Ferrara after his death in 1269 and his cult as saint begun to emerge, but at the same time the inquisitors opened a trial against him in the matter of heresy. |
