In the last quarter of the twelfth century, the papacy launched concerted efforts to hunt out heretics, mostly Cathars and Waldensians, and directed operations against them all across Latin Christendom. The bull of Pope Lucius III \u003ci\u003eAd abolendam \u003c\/i\u003eof 1184 became a turning point in the formation of the inquisitorial system which made both the clergy and the laity responsible for suppressing any religious dissent. From a comparative perspective, the study analyzes political, social and religious developments which in the High Middle Ages gave birth to the mechanism of repression and religious violence supervised by the papacy and operated by bishops and, starting from the 1230s, papal inquisitors, extraordinary judges delegate staffed mostly by Dominican and Franciscan friars.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHeresy and religious dissent in medieval Christendom - the making of inquisition and religious violence - defining heresy and profiling medieval dissidents - the role of popes, bishops and Mendicant friars in the struggle against heretics - techniques of questioning heresy suspects - technology of producing records of heresy trials - types and functions of penalties imposed on heretics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePawel Kras\u003c\/strong\u003e, professor of medieval history at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and the Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw; Vice-President of the Polish Group of the International Commission for the History and Study of Christianity (CIHEC), author of over 100 publications on religious dissent, tolerance, violence, and reforms of medieval Chrisitianity, including 3 books; editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eThe Correspondence of John of Capistrano related to Poland and Silesia, 1451-1456 \u003c\/i\u003e(2018).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820551811307,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":136.88,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783631815267-1.jpg?v=1781723885","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783631815267","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
