1779In -8°, pp. 358, (2), pergamena con ornamenti ai piatti. L’autore è padre Martino Natali (Bussana 1730-Pavia 1791), professore di dogmatica all’università di Pavia e prolifico autore dottrinario; secondo il dizionario biografico degli Italiani “con la sua chiamata, la facoltà teologica pavese si avviò a divenire uno dei poli dell’antigesuitismo italiano e delle politiche regalistiche degli Asburgo [...]. Nei molti opuscoli polemici che pubblicò – generalmente anonimi, sotto pseudonimo o con il nome di suoi allievi, talora di attribuzione incerta – ricorrono alcuni temi dominanti: la restrizione del campo dei dogmi alle verità attestate dalle scritture e dalla tradizione e avvallate dal comune insegnamento della Chiesa, la limitazione del primato pontificio, l’adesione rigorosa al dettato di s. Agostino in tema di grazia, predestinazione, peccato e una visione radicalmente negativa della condizione umana post lapsu, espressa in particolare nell’affermazione della condanna alle pene dell’inferno per i bambini morti avanti il battesimo”. Quest’opera va da intendersi come aspramente critica nei confronti del lavoro di Pierre Collet, teologo francese che aveva pubblicato pochi anni prima una Teologia morale in undici volumi, qui messa in discussione dal Natali, con argomentazioni che spaziano dalla religione, all’esorcismo, alla magia. The author is father Martino Natali (1730-1791), a dogmatics teacher at Pavia university and a productive doctrinaire writer. This work has to be meant in a strong opposition to the work of Pierre Collet, a french theologist who, a few years before, published a moral theology book in 11 volumes, here criticized by Natali: subjects branch off to religion, exorcism, magic.
