Summary "Fra Tommaso Campanella, Vol. 1" by Luigi Amabile is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the life, conspiracies, and trials of the Calabrian philosopher Tommaso Campanella, focusing particularly on a plot he was reportedly involved in, which aimed to liberate Calabria from Spanish rule. It also presents many unpublished political and judicial documents related to Campanella's heresy trial and includes a selection of previously unknown poems attributed to him. At the start of the narrative, Amabile introduces the complex controversies surrounding Campanella's alleged conspiracy, emphasizing that it has remained a contentious topic among historians. He reflects on the various interpretations of Campanella's actions, which have been subject to conflicting claims of innocence and guilt. Amabile notes the difficulty in ascertaining the truth due to the passage of time and the biases of both accusers and defenders, setting the stage for a meticulous review of the historical documents gathered from various archives that will follow throughout the volume.
