Henry Charles Lea's comprehensive three-volume history of the
medieval Inquisition, first published in 1888, was firmly based on
primary sources. 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 order to give as full a picture of the
Inquisition as possible he examines the jurisprudence of the
period. In Volume 1 he presents background information, giving a
general account of the Catholic Church in the twelfth century and
exploring the events that prompted the Church to set up the
Inquisition. He explains the prevalent medieval understanding of
the roles of the Church and government in society, and looks at
medieval concepts of the relationships between individuals and the
Church, the government, one another, and God. Lea shows how these
views formed the basis of the Inquisition's structure, organization
and processes.
