The iconographical dimension of the Inquisitions has remained largely overlooked by scholarship in the field. This volume investigates afresh and from diverse perspectives the nexus between the iconography, memory, and visual representations of the Inquisitions across the longue durée and in different geographical areas. By bringing together medievalists and early modernists, specialists on the three major modern Inquisitions as well as on the heterodox movements which these tribunals sought to suppress, the collected essays delve into the many-layered iconographical legacies of the European Inquisitions, analyze their interplay with textual sources, and seek to understand how the imagery contributed to build the social prestige and shape the memory of these institutions.
