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 3 Lea focuses on
particular aspects of the Inquisition. He considers the impact of
the Inquisition on scholarship and intellectual life and on faith
and culture, and describes how movements including the Franciscans
and the Fraticelli gained prominence. He shows how the concept of
political heresy was used by the Church and the State, and argues
that belief in sorcery and witchcraft in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries was stimulated by the Church authorities.
