Critics Review
“Kamen’s 1965 The Spanish Inquisition set a standard of clarity and objectivity in a traditionally contentious field. This new edition, the fruit of 50 years of scholarship and meditation, corrects with hard facts and penetrating analysis many entrenched myths about Spain and her 350-year-long Inquisition. It will set the agenda for the next generation of Spanish intellectual historians.“—David Gitlitz, author of Secrecy and Deceit: The Religion of the Crypto-Jews
“Kamen’s work remains the most accessible, comprehensive, and substantively argued English-language introduction to the Spanish Inquisition.“—Kimberly Lynn, Western Washington University
