Andrew Keitt studies the cultural and intellectual history of early modern Europe, with a focus on seventeenth-century Spain. His recently published book,Inventing the Sacred: Imposture, Inquisition, and the Boundaries of the Supernatural in Golden Age Spain (Brill, 2005), deals with the Spanish Inquisition's prosecution of the crime of "simulated sanctity,"--the feigning of raptures, revelations, and other supernatural phenomena--and the ways in which this judicial discourse was influenced by shifting boundaries between the natural and supernatural realms in early modern Europe. His article, "The Miraculous Body of Evidence: Visionary Experience, Medical Discourse, and the Inquisition in Seventeenth-Century Spain," (Sixteenth Century Journal, 36/1) was awarded the 2006 Harold Grimm Prize for the best article on Reformation history published during the previous year.
