The Inquisition surveys the different inquisitorial institutions created by the medieval Church and by later Spanish, Portuguese and Roman authorities to investigate and punish religious heresy. It explains their legal procedures, relationship with secular power and changing targets, from medieval dissidents to converts, Protestants and other suspected offenders. The book distinguishes these institutions from one another while examining how their practices produced the enduring image of the Inquisition in European memory.
