The Spanish Inquisition

The Spanish Inquisition

by Cecil Roth

  • HISTORY
  • 1996
  • PAPER
  • 369 PAGES

The Inquisition -- introduced in Spain during the Middle Ages, ended only in the 18th century. Empowered by the Roman Catholic church, the Spanish sovereigns moved first against Jews, then Protestants, mystics and various nonconformists. This documents the events leading up to the Inquisition and the torment that spread from Spain to Portugal and the New World -- a fascinating exploration of the roots of the Inquisition and its effects on the country.  (SPN91, $15.95)
