Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Inquisition of Spain, Vol. 1 of 4 IN the following pages I have sought to trace, from the original sources as far as Mble, the character and career of an institu tion which exercised no small influence on the fate of Spain and even, one may say, indirectly on the civilised world. The material for this is preserved so superabundantly in the immense Spanish archives that no one writer can pretend to exhaust the subject. There can be no finality in a history resting on so vast a mass of inedited documents and I do not flatter myself that I have accomplished such a result, but I am not without h0pe that what I have drawn from them and from the labors of previous scholars has enabled me to present a fairly accurate survey of one of the most remarkable organizations recorded in human annals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, Vol. 1 of 3 The history of the Inquisition naturally divides itself into two portions, each of which may be considered as a whole. The Reformation is the boundary-line between them, except in Spain, where the New Inquisition was founded by Ferdinand and Isa bella. In the present work I have sought to present an impartial account of the institution as it existed during the earlier period. For the second portion I have made large collections of material, through which I hope in due time to continue the history to its end.

Download or read book A History of the Inquisition of Spain Vol 1 4 written by Henry Charles Lea and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 1795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A History of the Inquisition of Spain" in 4 volumes is one of the best-known works by the American historian Henry Charles Lea. The Spanish Inquisition (officially known as the "Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition") was established in 1478 by Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile. It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms and to replace the Medieval Inquisition, which was under Papal control. It became the most substantive of the three different manifestations of the wider Catholic Inquisition along with the Roman Inquisition and Portuguese Inquisition. The Inquisition was originally intended primarily to identify heretics among those who converted from Judaism and Islam to Catholicism. The regulation of the faith of newly converted Catholics was intensified after the royal decrees issued in 1492 and 1502 ordering Muslims and Jews to convert to Catholicism or leave Castile. The Inquisition was not definitively abolished until 1834, during the reign of Isabella II, after a period of declining influence in the preceding century. The Spanish Inquisition is often cited in popular literature and history as an example of religious intolerance and repression.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Inquisition of Spain, Vol. 2 of 4 The ayuda do costa, of which we hear so much, was either a more or less definite increase of salary, or a special gift for cause, or else a simple mood or benevolence. While the salary was a matter fixed and due, the ayuda was always to a certain extent arbitrary and was used as an incentive to compel the performance of duties regarded as onerous. We see the germ of it in Torquemada's instructions of 1485, prohibiting fees and bribes, for the king pro vides a reasonable support for all and in time will give them mercedes.' An advance is marked in the Instructions of 1498 where, after specifying salaries, it is added that the inquisitors general, when they see that there is much labor or necesdty, can grant such ayudas de costs as they deem proper.' Accord ingly about this time, while we find no regular ayudas given, there are constant examples of special ones, sometimes of large amounts, granted for the most varied reasons, of which two or three instances will sufiice. Thus Ferdinand, April 30, 1499, in ordering the payment of the salaries in Seville, includes maravedis of ayudas de costs for one of the inquisitors, but none for any one else. August 10, 1502, Juan Royz, receiver of Sara gossa, is given an ayuda de costs of sueldos to meet expenses incurred in illness and, on September 27th, an official of Seville is gratified with maravedis to help him in his marriage.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Inquisition, Vol. 1: From the Establishment in the Twelfth Century to Its Extinction in the Nineteenth Many harrowing narratives might have been repeated that are entirely omitted because they are not satisfactorily authenticated, or bear internal marks of imperfect information. Many deeds of darkness are passed over in silence, because it is a shame even to speak of some things that were done in secret; and to lay bare the immoralities of Inquisitors and Confessors is, to say the least, an offence against public decency that cannot be too steadily discou raged. The reader will not find more than is promised in the title-page. Not persecution in general, not the administration of Canon Law in cases of heresy by prelates or ecclesiastical courts, but the acts of Inquisitors only. It must be remembered that while all churches that have lost the Spirit of Christ are given to persecute, no church on earth, except the Church of Rome, has ever had a separate institution for the inquest and punishment of heresy, with a peculiar code of laws and appointed courts, judges, and officers. This, and this only, is the inquisition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Inquisition of Spain, Vol. 3 of 4 To the modern mind the judicial use of torture, as a means of ascertaining truth, is so repellant and illogical that we are apt to forget that it has, from the most ancient times, been practised by nearly all civilized nations. With us the device of the jury has relieved the judge of the responsibility resting upon him in other systems of jurisprudence. That responsibility had to be met; a decision had to be reached, even in the most doubtful cases and, where evidence was defective and conflicting, the use of torture as an expedient to obtain a confession, or, by its endurance, to indicate innocence, has seemed, until modern times, after the disuse of compurgation and the judgements of God, to be the only means of relieving the judicial conscience. It was admitted to be dangerous and fallacious, to be employed only with circumspection, but there was nothing to take its place. That it should be used by the Inquisition was a matter of course, for the crime of heresy was often one peculiarly difficult to prove; confession was sought in all cases and, from the middle of the thirteenth century, the habitual employment of torture by the Holy Office had been the most efficient factor in spreading its use throughout Christendom, at the expense of the obsolescent Barbarian customs. It is true that Spain was loath to admit the innovation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish Inquisition The name of the Count Joseph De Maitre, is a name, which was long well known, and is still honoured, in the circles of Statesmen; and in the schools of Diplomacy. In both of these, he long acted a conspicuous part. During a considerable number of years, he held, in his own country, the highest offices of State, - was successively, Minister of Justice, Chancellor, &c., - conciliating, by the wisdom, and prudence, of his conduct, the universal esteem, and approbation, of the nation. Subsequently, he was appointed, and sent, Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburg, where he continued to reside, during the long term of fourteen years, - admired for his great talents; and beloved for his amiable virtues. He died, in 1822. The present accomplished Duchess of Laval is his daughter. In the walks of Literature, the Count is alike distinguished, as he was in the schools of Politics. His works are various, and numerous. And if, indeed, the display of talents, eloquence, and learning; - if originality, and refinement, of sentiment; if close reasoning, and sound philosophy, are the characteristics of interesting, and useful, works, - it may confidently be asserted, that there are few authors, whose writings better deserve these praises than those of the Count De Maitre. His works are, for the most part, political. But, they are, all of them, devoted to the cause of humanity; and to the interests of religion.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages, Vol. 2 of 3 The terror which Pelisson boasts that these proceedings spread through the land was probably owing not only to the evidence they afforded of an organized system of persecution, but also to their introduction of a much more effective method of prosecution than had heretofore been known. The heretic, so called, was the perfected teacher who disdained to deny his faith, and his burning was accepted by all as a matter of course, as also was that of the credens, or believer, who was defiantly contumacious and persisted in admitting and adhering to his creed. Hitherto, how ever, the believer who professed orthodoxy seems generally to have escaped, in the imperfection of the judicial means of proving his guilt. The friars, trained in the subtleties of disputation and learned in both civil and canon law, were specially fitted for the detection of this particularly dangerous secret misbelief, and their persistence in worrying their victims to the death was well calcu lated to spread alarm, not only among the guilty, but among the innocent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition: A History The history of Prey Tomas de Torquemada is the history of the establishment of the Modern Inquisition. It is not so much the history of a man as of an abstract genius presiding over a gigantic and cruel engine of its own perfecting. Of this engine we may examine for ourselves to-day the details of the complex machinery. Through the records that survive we may observe its cold, smooth action, and trace in this the awful intelligence of its architect. But of that architect himself we are permitted to catch no more than an occasional and fleeting glimpse. It is only in the rarest and briefest moments that he stands clearly before us, revealed as a man of flesh and blood. We see him, now fervidly urging a reluctant queen to do her duty by her God and unsheathe the sword of persecution, now harshly threatening his sovereigns with the wrath of Heaven when they are in danger of relenting in the wielding of that same sword. But in the main he must be studied, not in his actions, but in his enactments - the emanations of his relentless spirit. In these he is to be seen devoutly com passing evil in the perfervid quest of good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
