Having completed his four-volume history of the Inquisition of Spain, Lea follows the tribunal beyond the peninsula—to Sicily, Naples, Sardinia and Milan, the Canary Islands, and the American lands of Mexico, Peru and New Granada. He shows where it took root, where local resistance kept it out, and how inquisitors abroad pursued heresy while waging their own quarrels with viceroys and bishops.
Exhaustively documented, it rounds out the work of America’s foremost historian of the Inquisition. Download the free EPUB.
