“The history of the Inquisition naturally divides into two parts, each of which may be considered as forming a whole. The boundary that separates them is the Reformation. I have sought, in the present work, to offer an impartial picture of this institution during the first period of its existence. The Inquisition was not an organization arbitrarily conceived and imposed on the Christian world by the ambition or fanaticism of the Church. Rather, it was the product of a natural, one might almost say necessary, evolution of the various forces at work in the 13th century. No one can properly appreciate either its mode of development or its effects without first considering the ideas that governed souls around the time when modern civilization was being developed. For this, we have believed it necessary to review almost all the spiritual and intellectual movements of the end of the Middle Ages and to conduct an investigation into the conditions of society at certain phases of this period.” H.-C.
