"Self-Daffed: A Historical Chronicle of Iconoclasm and Book Burnings" In the depths of history, iconoclasts defiantly hurl miniature manuscripts into the fiery abyss, their act a symbol of resistance against oppressive powers. This 14th-century manuscript captures the spirit of rebellion that has echoed through time. Centuries later, in Bologna on June 17, 1797, an engraving immortalizes the destruction of feudal rights registers. The flames consume these symbols of authority as a new era dawns upon society. Constance bears witness to heretics burning in Orleans during the 19th century. Engraved for eternity, this image portrays the intolerance and persecution faced by those who dared to challenge established beliefs. Krakow's inhabitants take matters into their own hands as they burn Faustus Socinus' works in a public square. In 1598, Socinianism faces its reckoning amidst flames while he is forced to attend his own autodafe – a powerful testament to religious fervor and suppression. The annals recount Michel Servet's horrifying fate: burned alive in Geneva under Calvin's orders. "Histoire des popes, " a haunting depiction from the 19th century etches this dark chapter forevermore. Ancient China tells its tale too; Qin Shi Huang orchestrates fires that devour books and scholars alike between 213-210 BC – an attempt at erasing knowledge deemed dangerous by despotic rule. On grand squares across Spain during times stained with fear, autodafes organized by the Spanish Inquisition unfold mercilessly. Valladolid becomes one such stage where books are consumed by fire - an ominous reminder of power unchecked. Florence mourns Savonarola's demise as his writings meet their end in Piazza della Signoria in 1498. An anonymous late-15th-century artwork preserves this pivotal moment when ideas clash and are silenced.
