The History of the Inquisition or Reliable Methods for Recognizing Heretics
19.99 €
The tribunal of the High Inquisition had terrified all the enlightened minds of Europe for centuries. The Inquisitors spared no one: a casual word dropped in a tavern, a careless letter, even a refusal to eat pork could be regarded as heresy. The tortures of the Inquisition were horrible and inhuman conditions were created in its prisons. The Inquisition was the first full-fledged secret police in human history. It also developed the main legal and practical methods of combating dissent: the introduction of agents provocateurs, encouragement of denunciation, false defenses in court, torture, used in some countries to this day. This is what the book by Joseph Romualdovich Grigulevich, one of the greatest Soviet scholars of his time, diplomat, intelligence officer, and a great expert on the history of the Vatican and Latin America, will tell us about.
