JASON P. COY (Renaissance and Reformation Europe, Early Modern Germany) is an Assistant Professor of History who received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2001. Professor Coy’s current research focuses on criminality and authority in Reformation-era Germany. His manuscript, on banishment practices in early modern Germany, is currently under contract and is scheduled for publication in 2008 in the Studies in European Histories series edited by Thomas Brady and Roger Chickering. Professor Coy also has articles forthcoming in the Sixteenth Century Journal and the Journal of Historical Sociology. Another article, entitled “Our Diligent Watchers and Informers: Denunciation, False Accusation, and the Limits of Authority in Early Modern Ulm,” is included in Mary Lindemann, ed., Ways of Knowing: Ten Interdisciplinary Essays (Leiden: Brill Academic Press, 2004). He has conducted archival research in Germany with a University of California, Berkeley Center for German and European Studies research grant (1997), a Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) annual award (1998-1999), and a Maria Sibylla Merian Fellowship for Postdoctoral Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany (2002). Dr. Coy has begun preliminary research on a future project concerning sorcery, religiosity, and masculinity in Baroque Europe, a study that will be based upon Bartholomaeus Anhorn’s 1674 treatise, Magiologia
