Inquisition and its Organisation in Italy, 1250-1350 (Heresy and Inquisition in the Middle Ages, 8)

It is generally considered that the inquisitor was the leading figure in inquisition in Italy from the mid thirteenth century onward. Through an examination of the roles of the different partners, and in particular the part played by the lay and clerical staff of the inquisition, this book offers a much more diverse picture, arguing that the inquisitor was often supplicant rather than dominant, and the civil authority continued to play a major part. it shows how inquisition against heredy was part of the civil fabric of the Middle Ages. --Book cover.
