This is the first full-length study of Spanish attitudes toward death and the afterlife in the peak years of the Counter-Reformation. It contains an analysis of the death rituals requested in hundreds of sixteenth-century Madrid testaments, as well as a detailed account of the ways in which the \"good\" deaths of King Philip II and Saint Teresa of Avila were interpreted by contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931519320352,"sku":"NEW0521529425","price":50.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/from-madrid-to-purgatory-the-art-and-craft-of-dying-in-sixteenth-century-spain-cambridge-studies-in-early-modern-history-0521529425","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
