The Spanish Inquisition was one of the most feared institutions in Western history. Set up by the Roman Catholic church to supress heresy it operated in France, Italy, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire and was later extended to the Americas. Trials were held in secret, torture was common, and penalties ranged from simple fines and flogging to death by burning. Lea's majestrial study remains one of the most detailed and comprehensive accounts ever published. It continues to be an essential source for scholars of the Inquisition and medieval Spain. This edition includes the scarce volume on the inquisition in the Spanish dependencies. Introduced by Professor Lu Ann Homza, a leading contemporay scholar of the Inquisition, this handsome 5 volume set will be welcomed by researchers, collectors and institutions alike.

"An achievement which places its author at the head of all American historical students now living. To put the matter shortly Mr Lea has produced a work on a subject of absorbing interest, which for many a long day to come must serve as an authority to European experts on the subject" - New York Times; "Rarely has so significant an institution been so sanely and comprehensively studied" - The Nation
