The Spanish Inquisition

The terrible history of the Inquisition is told here by the distinguished scholar Cecil Roth, who was Reader in Jewish Studies at Oxford University. The text is illustrated with documents and prints from the author's private collection, and two appendices provide the text of an actual "program" of an auto da fe as well as excerpts from a specific trial.

Riassunto

No other organization for religious persecution ever equaled the Spanish Inquisition in intensity, scope, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
