In 1905 an elderly couple were found murdered in their shop in Deptford, London. The only evidence at the scene of the crime was a sweaty fingerprint on a cashbox. Was it possible that a single fingerprint could be enough to lead to a conviction ? Could the pattern of these tracks hold the secrets of the science of identification ? Fifty years earlier, William Herschel, the colonial administrator in India, had begun to experiment with fingerprints as an irrefutable method of establishing identity. In the 1880s, Henry Faulds, a missionary in Japan, began to study the formation of the whorls, arches and loops on each finger and was the first to ask whether these traces could be the unique key to indentifying every individual. Whilst police and scientists alike were ignoring Fauld's discovery, other thinkers were working on complex, alternative methods of identification. In France, anthropometry, a system of measuring parts of the body was the first scientific method used to catch criminals. But it was in England, through the studies of Francis Galton, Charles Darwin's cousin, that the study of fingerprints became the recognised science of dactylography. Impeccably researched and vividly told, Beavan recreates the nineteenth-century race to find a scientific method of identification. "Fingerprints" is a story packed with an extraordinary cast of individuals whose scientific breakthroughs helped solve one of the most brutal murders in English story and shape our understanding of identity forever.

The 24 essays in this volume explore the formation of clerical and confessional identities in early modern Europe from three angles. The first part of the book focuses on education and theological training, the second on the interpretation of Scripture and preaching, and the third on the construction of clerical and communal expectations and self understandings. The interdisciplinary discussion intersects with the confessionalization debate and proceeds from comparative perspectives, confessionally, geographically, and dimensionally, local and (inter)national. What is especially innovative is the rich portrait of the complexities of identities and the sources used to determine them. An extensive introduction offers a detailed, systematic overview and lays the foundation for discussions of the volume's refreshing findings. A book review section is annexed. Contributors include: Raymond A. Blacketer, Wietse de Boer, F.G.M. Broeyer, Robert J. Christman, Kathleen M. Comerford, Stefan Ehrenpreis, Riemer A. Faber, David Fors Freeman, Leendert F.
