Autor Thomas F Mayer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 feb 2013
As Thomas F. Mayer demonstrates in this first study of the Roman Inquisition as an institution, the Inquisition underwent constant modification as it expanded.

Recenzii

"An extremely important project. Mayer brings an unprecedented amount of archival research to the table, and his findings will be epoch-making and definitive."-Henry Ansgar Kelly, University of California, Los Angeles "A profoundly researched analysis of how the Sacred Congregation of the Roman Inquisition actually operated at the center, its procedures, developed 'style,' and jurisprudence as revealed by congregational registers, inquisitors' manuals, and apt sample cases. We learn of the personnel involved, from Cardinal Inquisitors to consultants and notaries. Mayer is especially revealing about some involved in judging Galileo's books and behavior."-Christopher Black, University of Glasgow
