| Summary | "The History of the Inquisition of Spain from the Time of its Establishment" by D. Juan Antonio Llorente is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work provides a detailed examination of the Spanish Inquisition, delving into its origins, procedures, and significant events throughout its history. The author, who served as the secretary of the Inquisition, aims to present accurate and comprehensive insights based on original documents, addressing the extensive impact and infamous actions of this institution. The opening of Llorente's history establishes the context of the Inquisition, tracing its roots back to early Christianity while highlighting the transformation it underwent during different epochs. The text outlines the church's evolving stance towards heretics and the legislative shifts that allowed for harsher measures, including the eventual establishment of the Inquisition as a formal tribunal. Significant attention is given to the socio-political dynamics of Spain, particularly the role of the Spanish monarchs and the intertwining of religious zeal with political ambitions. Through this foundational overview, the author sets the stage for a deep exploration of the Inquisition's operations, its notorious trials, and the various historical figures involved.
