The Spanish Inquisition: A Historical Revision by Henry Kamen
This updated edition of Henry Kamen's survey of the Spanish Inquisition offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on this complex period. By placing the notorious Christian tribunal within the broader context of Islamic and Jewish culture in the Mediterranean, Kamen reassesses its impact on Jewish culture and Spain's intellectual life.
He also challenges common myths and exaggerations surrounding the Inquisition, providing a more nuanced understanding of this fascinating period. The book concludes with reflections on the enduring legacy of state security organizations in our own time.
