La morte di un inquisitore del ’200 è all’origine di un’agghiacciante serie di omicidi. Un misterioso assassino riproduce con crudeltà i tormenti inflitti ai martiri della Chiesa. Cosa sta cercando? Un amore tormentato tra un uomo e una donna fa da sfondo ad un thriller di grande tensione, tra presente e passato. Le vite di Ulisse Arnaud, esperto d'arte sacra e rugbista romantico, e della compagna Alessandra Benucci Hercolani, fredda organizzatrice di eventi dal misterioso passato, si intrecciano con quelle di un eccentrico frate domenicano e dei fratelli Brandano e Ornella Eynard, sempre troppo vicini alle gesta dell'assassino. In una lotta contro il tempo, dove con salti temporali tra il presente e il passato viene mano a mano svelato il movente dell'assassino, tutti tentano disperatamente di fermarne la mano omicida. L'autore. Andrea Malossini, giornalista e scrittore, da oltre 20 anni scrive sui temi delle tradizioni popolari, in particolare sulla stregoneria, i santi e le superstizioni. Sul tema delle tradizioni popolari ha collaborato con diversi quotidiani e periodici ed è stato l'autore del Lunario domenicale della trasmissione "Linea Verde" di Rai Uno e oggi è autore e voce della rubrica settimanale "Lune e cieli" in onda su TeleSanterno - Odeon TV. Ha pubblicato una decina libri per gli editori Garzanti, A.Vallardi e Area51 Publishing, tra i quali: “Manuale di stregoneria”, “Le ricette delle streghe”, “Breve storia delle streghe”, “Superstizioni italiane”, “Gli unti del Signore”, “Dizionario dei Santi patroni”. Falcastrum è il suo primo romanzo.

Siamo tutti superstiziosi: lo sono anche quanti affermano il contrario. La superstizione è naturale, è in noi: è la risposta dell'uomo ai fenomeni rari, singolari e misteriosi. Tutto quello che non può essere spiegato o risolto in modo logico, turba l'animo, spingendoci a escogitare rimedi che, pur irrazionali, possano restituirci sicurezza e speranza. È il timore, perciò, che ha generato, alimenta e conserva la superstizione. Non a caso la religione, coi suoi dogmi, i fenomeni naturali coi suoi misteri e le incertezze del ciclo della vita, sono sempre stati sorgente di credenze superstiziose. Autori come Calvino e Lutero la condannavano, accusando la Chiesa cattolica, che a sua volta additava come superstizione i riti non ortodossi e proprie di altre religioni. Nel mondo moderno, le superstizioni sono oggi viste con tolleranza e guardate con ironia. Tutti, chi più chi meno, nei momenti di sconforto, forse solo per curiosità, cedono alla tentazione d'acquistare un piccolo amuleto, di toccare ferro o di cambiare strada quando incontrano un gatto nero. Il libro di Andrea Malossini - nel quale sono raccolte oltre mille superstizioni - riporta le credenze superstiziose italiane in modo ordinato, descrivendone brevemente l'origine e il significato. L'intento è quello di dare al lettore un'idea della superstizione italiana in modo agevole e leggero, nella speranza, grazie anche alla suggestione del tema, di destarne la curiosità. Un libro è dedicato a tutti quelli che, magari per abitudine, vogliono sapere perché quando vedono capovolto il pane sulla tavola lo rigirano, o perché, non contenti d'avere rovesciato l'olio, gettano anche dietro le spalle una manciata di sale. L'autore Razionalista agnostico convinto, Andrea Malossini non è superstizioso e non crede ai riti assurdi e irrazionali che la superstizione suggerisce. Per sua fortuna, è nato di giovedì, in un anno pari, non bisestile e principiante per mercoledì, e dunque sotto i migliori auspici. Forse per questo, e per la sua inesauribile curiosità ad indagare su quanto c'è di strano, misterioso e non comprensibile ai più, da molti anni studia, raccoglie e scrive su temi come la superstizione e la stregoneria senza timore di restarne ammaliato. Tra le pochissime ubbie che si concede - più per pace familiare che per altro - mai il pane rovesciato a tavola e il cappello sul letto. Sul tema delle tradizioni popolari ha collaborato con diversi quotidiani e periodici, è stato l'autore del Lunario domenicale della trasmissione "Linea Verde" su Rai Uno e oggi è autore e voce della rubrica settimanale "Lune e cieli" in onda su TeleSanterno – Odeon TV.

We are all superstitious, even those who affirm the opposite. Superstition is natural, it resides in all of us: it represents the human answer to rare, singular, and mysterious phenomena. All that cannot be explained or resolved in a logical manner disturbs the human spirit, promoting many to devise remedies that, while irrational, can restore hope and security. It is fear, therefore, that generates, feeds, and preserves superstition. Not surprisingly, religion with its dogmas, natural phenomena with its mysteries, and life’s cycle with its uncertainties, have always been a source of superstitious beliefs. Andrea Malossini’s book – which collects over one thousand superstitious – reports, in an orderly manner, Italian superstitious beliefs along with a brief description of their origin and mening.The intent is to give the reader an idea of ​​Italian superstitions, in a smooth and easy way, hoping, thanks to the suggestion in the titles, to arouse curiosity. This small book is therefore not necessarily devoted to superstitious people, but to all of those who, perhaps out of habit, want to know why, when they see an upside down piece of bread on the table, they turn it over, or why, not being happy to have spilled some oil, they also throw a handful of salt over their shoulder. Author A firmly convinced rationalist and agnostic, Andrea Malossini is not superstitious and does not believe in the absurd and irrational rites suggested by superstitions. Luckily, he was born on a Thursday, of an even year, of a non-leap year, and apprentice on a Wednesday, therefore, undoubtedly, born under the best omens. Maybe for this reason- and for his inexhaustible curiosity towards the things that appear to the many as strange, mysterious and incomprehensible- he has been studying, collecting and writing for many years on topics regarding superstition and witchcraft without the fear of being charmed by them. Among the very few superstitions that he grants himself- more to keep family-peace than anything else- there are the never upside-down bread on the table and never place the hat on the bed rules. On the subject of popular traditions he cooperated with several newspapers and periodicals. He was the author of the moon weekly almanac on the Sunday television program “Linea Verde” broadcasted on Rai Uno; today he is the author and voice of the weekly column “Lune e Cieli” broadcasted live on the Television station TeleSanterno- Odeon TV. He published over ten books for the publishing company Garzanti , A.Vallardi e Area51 Publishing, among which: “Manuale di stregoneria” (Witchcraft Manual), “Le ricette delle streghe” (Witches Recipes), “Breve storia delle streghe” Witches: a brief history), “Dizionario delle superstizioni italiane” (Dicionary of Italian superstitions), “Gli unti del Signore” (God’s Anointed), “Dizionario dei Santi patroni”(Dictionary of Patron Saints).

The Lingua Ignota, "brought forth" by the twelfth-century German nun Hildegard of Bingen, provides 1012 neologisms for praise of Church and new expression of the things of her world. Noting her visionary metaphors, her music, and various medieval linguistic philosophies, Higley examines how the "Unknown Language" makes arid signifiers green again. This text, however, is too often seen in too narrow a context: glossolalia, angelic language, secret code. Higley provides an edition and English translation of its glosses in the Riesencodex (with assistance from the Berlin MS) , but also places it within a history of imaginary language making from medieval times to the most contemporary projects in efforts to uncover this woman s bold involvement in an intellectual and creative endeavor that spans centuries.
