Henry Charles Lea's three-volume history of the medieval Inquisition, first published in 1888, was firmly based on primary sources. Lea was convinced that the Inquisition was not arbitrarily devised & implemented but was an inevitable consequence of forces that were dominant in 13th century Christian society. In order to give as full a picture of the Inquisition as possible he examines the jurisprudence of the period. In Volume 1 he presents background information, giving a general account of the Catholic Church in the 12th century & exploring the events that prompted the Church to set up the Inquisition. He explains the prevalent medieval understanding of the roles of the Church & government in society, & looks at medieval concepts of the relationships between individuals & the Church, the government, one another, & God.

This three-volume history of the medieval Inquisition by the influential American scholar Henry Charles Lea, first published in 1888, was based on primary sources, and adopted a rationalist approach that departed from the pious tone of earlier histories of the middle ages. Lea was convinced that the Inquisition was not arbitrarily devised and implemented but was an inevitable consequence of forces that were dominant in 13th-century Christian society. In Volume 3 Lea focuses on particular aspects of the Inquisition. He considers the impact of the Inquisition on scholarship and intellectual life and on faith and culture, and describes how movements including the Franciscans and the Fraticelli gained prominence. He shows how the concept of political heresy was used by the Church and the State, and argues that belief in sorcery and witchcraft in the 14th-15th centuries was stimulated by the Church authorities.
