The Judge and the Historian is an essay by Carlo Ginzburg that examines the Sofri case, an Italian court case from the 1990s. Ginzburg, a personal friend of one of the defendants, analyzes the interrogations and evidence presented at trial, questioning the effectiveness of justice in reaching historical truth. Through a microhistorical analysis, the author reflects on the relationship between judges and historians in the search for truth.
Carlo Ginzburg is an Italian historian and a proponent of the field of microhistory. He is best known for The Cheese and the Worms (1976), which examined the beliefs of Italian heretic Menocchio from Friuli.
