The Inquisitions presents a remarkable collection of original manuscripts of the Spanish and other Inquisitions from the 13th to the 18th centuries. Acquired from antiquarian collectors and diplomats over the centuries, the collection features unique originals and early transcripts of statutes, tracts, trial proceedings, correspondence, and original papers of the Council of the General Inquisition in Spain. Taken together, the original documents and accounts — the letters, commentaries, and historiographies of the Inquisition preserved in the British Library and published together here for the first time — offer an invaluable primary source foundation for any serious study of the role of the Inquisitions in early modern Europe.
