Abstract
Our article provides a short introduction to the Mediterranean slavery in Early Modern period,
as well as to the civil and religious rites celebrating in 18th century Milan the return of compatriots
freed from slavery in Muslim States by the Trinitarian fathers. We then analyze three
solemn speeches written for the occasion, and read in the Cathedral by Barnabite scholars.
Provided as an appendix, the full text of an “oration” composed on 10 August 1750 by the
renowned Milanese scholar father Onofrio Paolo Branda.
