Beschreibung
Almost any reign in human history is based on terror or fear. The medieval Romanian world does not make an exception: the role of the curse in Romanian judicial institutions and its coercive use illustrates the impact that this act of linguistic magic exerted on the population until the beginning of the 19th century. The Bishops Curse is a scholars explanation, after years of research in this field, of one of the most interesting practices in Romanian history.
