The Inquisition of the Spanish Dependencies is a comprehensive historical account written by Henry Charles Lea. The book explores the history of the Spanish Inquisition in the various territories and colonies under Spanish rule, including Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines. Lea provides detailed insights into the origins, practices, and impact of the Inquisition on the people of these regions. The book also delves into the political, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the establishment and expansion of the Inquisition in the Spanish Empire. Through meticulous research and analysis, Lea sheds light on the complex and often brutal nature of the Inquisition and its lasting effects on the history of Spain and its colonies. The Inquisition of the Spanish Dependencies is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the Spanish Empire and the Inquisition.1908. The scope of Mr. Lea's history of the Spanish inquisition precluded a detailed investigation into the careers of individual tribunals. Such an investigation, however, is not without interest, especially with respect to the outlying ones, which were subjected to varying influences and reacted in various ways on the peoples among whom they were established. Moreover, in some cases, this affords us an inside view of inquisitorial life, of the characters of those to whom were confided the awful irresponsible powers of the Holy Office and of the abuse of those powers by officials whom distance removed from the immediate supervision of the central authority, suggesting a capacity for evil even greater than that manifested in the peninsula. Found within is the record of the inquisition in Sicily, Naples, Sardinia, Milan, the Canaries, Mexico, Peru, and New Granada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
