Inkvisitsioon

In the eyes of modern people, the Spanish Inquisition is a model example of violence and religious intolerance. The history of the Inquisition is full of horrors and tortures: about 2,000 people were sent to the stake, hundreds experienced terrible atrocities.

John Edwards provides a fascinating analysis of the realities and myths of the period, as well as the motivations of the heresy courts.

John Edwards is a Research Fellow in the Chair of Spanish at the University of Oxford.
