Description
The Spanish Inquisition is a comprehensive history of this tumultuous period in European history. Cecil Roth's scholarly work provides a detailed account of the Inquisition's development and impact, drawing on his extensive research and private collection of documents and prints. The book includes two appendices that offer a unique insight into the workings of the Inquisition, with one appendix providing the text of an actual "program" of an auto da fe and excerpts from a specific trial. This rare glimpse into the Inquisition's inner workings adds depth to Roth's narrative. With 316 pages of detailed history, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in European history, politics, or human rights.
