Synopsis

From its establishment in 1478 until its abolishment in 1834, no one expected its tribunals, which relentlessly sought to destroy everyone who was not a Roman Catholic Christian. The terrible history of the Inquisition is told here by the distinguished scholar Cecil Roth, who was Reader in Jewish Studies at Oxford University.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The long series of events leading up to the establishment of the Inquisition and the following three and a half centuries of torment that spread from Spain to Portugal and even to the New World are here documented by Cecil Roth of Oxford, one of the world's great authorities on Jewish history.

Synopsis:

No organization for religious persecution equalled the Spanish Inquisition in intensity, scope or efficiency. From 1478 until 1834, when it was abolished, the Inquisition pursued a bloody course whose goal was to eliminate non-Catholics. The history of this cruel regime is told in this text.
