This comprehensive three-volume history of the medieval Inquisition
by the influential American scholar Henry Charles Lea, first
published in 1888, was firmly based on primary sources, and adopted
a rationalist approach that departed from the pious tone of earlier
histories of the middle ages. Lea was convinced that the
Inquisition was not arbitrarily devised and implemented but was an
inevitable consequence of forces that were dominant in
thirteenth-century Christian society. In Volume 2 Lea focuses
mainly on the Inquisition in France, Iberia, Italy and Germany. He
delves into the relationship between religion and State in the
Languedoc region and describes how the University of Paris
obstructed the Inquisition's activity. Lea notes that there was
almost no Inquisition presence in Portugal, while in Italy sporadic
popular opposition to the Inquisition was noticeable. He also
explains how the Bohemian reformer John Huss fell victim to the
Inquisition in Germany.
