- **Blog Entry Details:** Posted on August 9, 2023 by Andrew Holt Ph.D., tagged with various topics including Alfred J. Andrea, Gretchen Starr-Lebeau, Spanish Inquisition, Inquisitorial History, and several myths about the Spanish Inquisition. - **Content Focus:** - Challenges common myths about the Spanish Inquisition, such as: - It stifled thought and inquiry due to fear of inquisition. - It operated solely within Spain, followed its own rules outside of law, targeted only Jews, always used torture, always resulted in death sentences, and was a centralized Vatican institution. - Explores possible connections between medieval European cultures (like Carolingian dynasty) and contemporaneous non-Western civilizations (like Visigothic Kingdom, Tang Dynasty, Toltecs, Mali's Epic of Sundiata), suggesting the need for a more global perspective in medieval history. - **Critical View:** - While historians may claim medieval history is now less Eurocentric with the study of Global Middle Ages, critics could argue that labeling non-Western cultures with Western terms (like 'medieval') is still an example of academic imperialism. |
