El queso y los gusanos
The Cosmos of a Sixteenth Century Miller
Book • 1976
This book by Carlo Ginzburg delves into the life of Menocchio, a miller from 16th-century Italy who was twice charged with heresy by the Church.
Menocchio's unique cosmology, influenced by his literacy and reading of a 14th-century travel memoir, is explored in detail.
The book underscores the significance of literacy in shaping individual perspectives and challenges the notion of peasants as naive and simple-minded.
Ginzburg also examines the interrelationship between printed culture and oral culture, drawing inspiration from theorist Mikhail Bakhtin.
The work is a valuable account of how one man's curiosity and intelligence led to a humanistic cultural relativism that conflicted with Church teachings.
