The first volume covers the establishment of the Inquisition, its early development, and the various forms it took in different regions of Europe. Lea examines the role of the Church, the state, and the people in the Inquisition, as well as the social, political, and religious factors that contributed to its rise and spread. He also explores the methods used by the Inquisitors to identify, interrogate, and punish heretics, including torture, imprisonment, and execution.
