histoire critique inquisition - LLORENTE (Jean Antoine) HISTOIRE Critique de l' Inquisition d' Espagne . Depuis l' Époque de son Établissement par Ferdinand V jusqu'au Règne de Ferdinand VII; tirée des pièces originales des archives du conseil de la Suprême, et de celles des tribunaux subalternes du Saint-Office. Traduite de l' espagnol, sur le manuscrit et sous les yeux de l' auteur par Alexis Pellier. Seconde Édition. A Paris: Chez Treuttel et Würtz, 1818. 4 v.; 205 mm. 1818 Parisian edition of Histoire critique de l'Inquisition d'Espagne , the celebrated French translation of the monumental work by Juan Antonio Llorente (1756–1823), former Secretary of the Holy Office and one of the leading critical voices of the Spanish Inquisition. Originally published in Spanish between 1812 and 1818, Llorente’s work constitutes the first systematic attempt to present, based on internal documents of the Inquisition itself, the institutional, legal and political history of the Spanish court from its foundation to its abolition at the beginning of the 19th century. This French translation, published in Paris shortly after the original edition, was widely distributed internationally and contributed decisively to consolidating a critical and rationalist view of the Inquisition, aligned with the ideals of the Enlightenment and liberal historiography. Llorente, who had privileged access to the inquisitorial archives during the brief period of reforms under Napoleon, presents in this work a rigorous and condemnatory analysis of the inquisitorial system, combining historical erudition with a clear reformist purpose. !
