Abstract

as a whole, and (2) he failed to deal with the first three centuries of the Inquisition in Rome and says many times that things were "different than in the medieval Inquisition," but we hardly know why. In short, the questions that intrigue Bethencourt--of survivability and impact on values and social configurations--are inherently narrative but the author's choices do not necessarily match well with his questions, that is, until he comes to the eighteenth century. Here he allows himself a little more freedom of latitude in dissecting the collapse of the institution. In any case, Bethencourt may be swimming against a stream that favors the study of Inquisition according to national history. For example, historians of the Spanish Inquisition continue to provide more evidence that the interconnectedness between the Inquisition and the national and local cultural and political interests was precisely the factor that helped the Inquisition to remain relevant and survive for a long period of time. Bethencourt reads and researches in four languages and writes in two. His coverage of the material is exhaustive, and one can find some really nice gems of comparative analysis here and there.
