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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Cecil Roth</note> <subject> <topic>Christian martyrs -- History</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Persecution -- History</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">272.2</classification> <classification authority="ddc">R845-C39</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780393002553</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16512/11.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16512/11.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2025-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071615.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
