Jemolo, Buonaiuti e una lettera «caduta nelle mani» del Sant'Uffizio

Starting from the discovery in the Archives of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith of a letter by Arturo Carlo Jemolo never delivered to Ernesto Buonaiuti because it was intercepted and stolen by a delator, the essay outlines some elements of the complex relationship between Jemolo, Buonaiuti and Agostino Gemelli against the background of the condemnation of Roman priest and the controversy that followed. The document also allows us to deepen some more general themes, such as, for example, the emphasis given to the historical-critical method in religious studies or the relationship between Jansenism and Modernism.
