 Activities:

The scope of this research centre is to promote research and meetings concerning the inquisitions from an interdisciplinary and diachronic perspective, which looks at the entire history of the office from the medieval to the modern age and in different areas of the world. The main activities of INQUIRE involve the organisation of a yearly workshop; the regular publication of the proceedings, as well as monographs and editions of sources; and the development of a website aimed to update scholars, students and all those interested on the sources, images, and bibliographies of the history of inquisitions.
