The Compiler of the following pages has only attempted to give a condensed translation of a complex and voluminous history, with the hope that it might prove of more utility in its present form than in the original works. Those por- tions which are not calculated to interest or instruct the general reader, and afford no illustrations of the subject, have been passed over. Those trials have been selected which serve as examples of the various laws of the Inqui- sition, and of its state at different epochs, and which include the persecutions of the most eminent men. The curious will be amply gratified by the perusal of the history of the secret tribunal; the man of leisure cannot fail in finding occupation and amusement in the pages of Llorente ; and the philosopher will discover in them ample scope for reflection on the aberrations of human reason, and on the capability of our nature, when under the influence of fanaticism, to inflict, with systematic indifierence, death, torture, misery, anxiety, and infamy, on the guilty and the innocent. All the records of the fantastic cruelties of the heathen world do not afford so appalling a picture of human weak- b A ADVERTISEMENT. nCsa and depravity as the authentic and genuine documents of the laws and proceeding of this Holy Office, which pro- fessed to act under the influence of the doctrines of the Redeemer of the World ! I offer, with humility, this abridgement of the work to the public, and while I hope that it will be kindly and favourably received, I believe that it may prove interesting and useful to every class of readers. June, 1826. ; PREFACE. Although a tribunal has existed for more than three hundred years in Spain, invested with the power of prosecuting heretics, no correct history of its origin, estabhshment, and progress has been written. Writers of many countries have spoken of Inquisi- tions established in different parts of the world, where the Roman Catholic faith is the religion of the state, and yet not one is worthy of confidence. The work of M. Lavallee, entitled the " History of the Inquisitions of Italy, Spain, and Portugal," and published in 1809, has only added to the historical errors of the authors who preceded him.

    H-France Review Volume 7 (2007) Page 122 H-France Review Vol. 7 (March 2007), No. 30 Response to John H. Arnold’s review of Karen Sullivan, Truth and the Heretic: Crises of Knowledge in Medieval French Literature. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2005. xii + 281 pp. Notes, select bibliography, index. $35.00 U.S. (cl). ISBN 0-226-78169-0. Response by Karen Sullivan, Bard College. I am grateful to H-France Review for allowing me the opportunity to respond to Professor Arnold’s review of Truth and the Heretic. Professor Arnold has read the book carefully and insightfully, and he summarizes its arguments with remarkable accuracy in the first part of the review. When he raises concerns about some of the book’s claims, I invariably agree with him, and, indeed, thought that the book was agreeing with him as well, despite the contrary arguments he sees it as making. Given the similar views about medieval heresy Professor Arnold and I ultimately seem to have, it is possible that what he sees as our differences in substance are actually due to differences in emphasis. All good literary scholars consider the importance of context, just as all good historians consider the importance of the text, but, as a literary scholar, I may well have stressed the internal logic of a work, whether a troubadour canso or an inquisitor’s manual, over the external environment within which this work was produced, to a degree that causes Professor Arnold unease. Because my choice of what to emphasize appears to have led Professor Arnold to think that I hold certain views on medieval heretics and inquisitors that I do not hold, I am happy to have the chance to clarify here what I was and was not trying to argue in the book.

  • Change in the Fourteenth-Century Inquisition Seen Through Bernard Gui's and Nicholas Eymerich's Inquisitors' Manuals Ph.D
    Change in the Fourteenth-Century Inquisition seen through Bernard Gui’s and Nicholas Eymerich’s Inquisitors’ Manuals Ph.D. Thesis by Derek Arthur Hill MA (UCL), MA (Oxon), Birkbeck College, University of London. 1 I certify that this thesis is all my own work. D A Hill 19 October 2015 2 Abstract This thesis examines how the inquisitio hereticæ pravitatis (the ‘inquisition’) changed in the 14th century. It does so through a comparison of Gui’s Practica inquisitionis heretice pravitatis, and Eymerich’s Directorium inquisitorum, which are the fullest accounts of inquisitorial practice in the fourteenth century. It therefore concentrates on the Languedoc and Aragon, although wider evidence is used where possible. It points out several areas of change between these two points in the evolution of the inquisition: a) Gui’s Practica was a conservative response to a changing heresy threat, which adapted the existing methods of the successful Languedoc inquisition to meet new threats like the Beguins, Pseudo-Apostles and magicians. Eymerich, who came some 50 years later, was a systematizer and an innovator. He defined the inquisition in such a way that any heterodox thinking could be found to be heresy by an inquisitor. He also innovated in seeing the inquisition’s jurisdiction as extending over Jews (not just Jews converted to Christianity and their helpers), blasphemers and magicians. In this he was following secular trends where magicians were increasingly perceived as a problem and blasphemy was considered a serious offence; and in Aragon there had long been efforts amongst Dominicans to get more jurisdiction over Jews.

  • The Portuguese, the Inquisition, and Local Society in Cartagena De Indias, 1550-1700
    BETWEEN THE FOREIGN AND THE FAMILIAR: THE PORTUGUESE, THE INQUISITION, AND LOCAL SOCIETY IN CARTAGENA DE INDIAS, 1550-1700 By BRIAN HAMM A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Brian Hamm To Elyssa ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My first and deepest note of thanks goes to my advisors, Ida Altman and Nina Caputo. From the beginning of my time at the University of Florida, Ida has been a most encouraging mentor who has supported this project with unfailing generosity. At every stage, I could always count on her perceptive judgment and sagacious advice. Likewise, Nina has been an invaluable source of support and inspiration from my very first year in graduate school. In particular, she has always pushed me to expand my scholarly horizons and to pursue lines of inquiry that I had not considered. I also owe a great debt to Jessica Harland-Jacobs, who has provided much encouragement and guidance over the years. I would also like to thank David Geggus and Efraín Barradas for their comments and critiques of this work. In countless ways, both large and small, different scholars have contributed to the development of this project. I want to especially recognize David Wheat, Pedro Cardim, and Ben Ehlers for their advice and support over the years. I am also deeply indebted to my undergraduate professors and mentors at Pepperdine University, especially Stewart Davenport, Donald Marshall, Darlene Rivas, and Sharyl Corrado. This dissertation is built on three separate research trips to Spain, which would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the Center for Latin American Studies, the Center for European Studies, the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere, and the Graduate School at the University of Florida.
