This volume focuses on the practices and judicial processes of the Spanish Inquisition, particularly exploring the use of torture and its legal ramifications. Lea's work seeks to provide a detailed overview of the darker aspects of the Inquisition, which has often been sensationalized in popular narratives. The opening of this volume delves into the subject of torture as a tool employed by the Inquisition, examining its historical context and justifications. Lea presents a critical analysis of the methods of coercion used to extract confessions and the circumstances under which torture was deemed necessary. He contrasts the practices of the Spanish Inquisition with those of other jurisdictions, arguing that while the Spanish approach was not exceptionally cruel, it was nonetheless systematic and utilized a range of torturous methods. The section sets the tone for a broader exploration of judicial practices, emphasizing an interrogative atmosphere that prioritized conviction over justice.
