The researches of subsequent scholars, largely Italian and French (e.g., Vincenzo Sampanato, Giorgio Spini, Emile Namer), have added more information, and in 1985 I contributed some further details, largely drawn from Spanish diplomatic sources, in my article “Vanini and the Diplomats: Religion, Politics, and Defection in the Counter-Reformation Era,” THE HISTORICAL MAGAZINE OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH (now known as ANGLICAN HISTORY), 54/3 (September 1985), 219-39. The leading authority on Vanini and Genochi today is Francesco Paolo Raimondi, who has published several works on the subject, his most recent being GIULIO CESARE VANINI NELL’EUROPA DEL SEICENTO, 2nd ed. (2014).
