Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag am Buchrücken ausgeblichen, sonst gut und sauber / dust jacket faded at spine, otherwise good and clean. - Since the sixteenth century, the Spanish Inquisition has been synonymous with terror, bigotry, and persecution. In this book, a renowned historian sweeps away old misconceptions and presents a new view of this notorious and fascinating period. Henry Kamen reassesses the significance and consequences of the expulsion of the Jews and also argues that there is little evidence for the alleged Jewishness of the conversos who were the Inquisition's first victims. He presents a major revision of the impact of blood purity prejudices on Spanish society, revises the figures given for execution of heretics by the tribunal, and examines the amount of Spanish persecution in the context of executions in neighboring countries. He gives a completely new picture of the infamous censorship system, showing it to be much less effective than is often presented, and he investigates the role played by foreign propaganda in the creation of the diabolic image of the Inquisition. Kamen reconstructs the atmosphere of fear and oppression that typified the period, relating it to the fear generated by community tensions. He also demonstrates for the first time that the famous auto-da-fé was not a product of traditional Spanish piety but a deliberate tool of the inquisitors, invented in the sixteenth century in order to boost their political standing. Thirty-five years ago Kamen wrote a study of the Inquisition that received high praise. This new work, based on over thirty years of additional research, is innovative in its presentation, point of view, information, and themes. It will revolutionize further study in the field. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Glossary Preface 1 A Society of Believers and Unbelievers 2 The Great Dispersion 3 The Coming of the Inquisition 4 A Continuing Opposition 5 Excluding the Reformation 6 The Impact on Literature and Science 7 Structure and Politics 8 How it Operated 9 Trial and Punishment 10 The End of Morisco Spain 11 Racialism and its Critics 12 The Inquisition and the People 13 Visions of Sefarad 14 Inventing the Inquisition List of Abbreviations Notes Select Bibliography Index.
