2 The use of an isolated but revealing clue, called the paradigma indiziario, has been one of the characteristic traits of the microhistorians. The principal theoretical statement about it is that of Carlo Ginzburg, “Spie: Radici di un paradigma indiziario,” Ombre Rosse, 29 (1979), 80-107, translated as “Morelli, Freud and Sherlock Holmes: Clues and Scientific Method,” History Workshop, 9 (1980), 5-36.
