History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages 3 Volume Set

3 Volume Set bounded with black leather in a slipcase.

The chapters in this 3 volume set taken without abridgement from Henry Charles Leas Inquistion in the Middle Ages from one of the fullest accounts yet published on the origin and development of the inquisitorial process in western Europe. They offer a complete picture of the mechanism of the Inquisition: its structure, its methods of interrogation and trial, and its treatment of evidence. They also capture the relentless spirit of the Inquisition in all its variety of sentence and punishment: penance, excommunication, confiscation of property, torture and, sometimes death.
