Lastly, Lea covers such topics as the resources that the inquisitors had at their command as well as the method and practice of the heretical purge.

The history of jurisprudence is the history of civilization.

These afford the surest outlines for a trustworthy picture of the past, of which the details are supplied by the records of the chronicler. The history of civilization and the acts done out of superstition includes judicial combat versus the duel, kinsman versus campions in judicial combat, the judgement of god throughout the world, the ordeal of boiling water, red hot iron, fire, cold water, ordeal of balance, ordeal of the cross, poison ordeals, and more. The section on torture talks of the various methods throughout the different societies including the first appearance of torture, the inquisition, and all grades of torture.

A fascinating look at the doctrine of "might makes right" as the basis of law, originally published in 1892.

Henry Charles Lea was one of the first American historians to use what would later be termed comparative and anthropological approaches to history. Under his pen, the study of the medieval ordeal becomes a study in cultural history.Reprinted here from the fourth revised edition of 1892, the book begins by tracing the role of the ordeal in non-Western and ancient societies, showing the mental world to which it belongs: a limited trust in the public order and purely human methods of inquiry, and a larger faith in divine intervention and immanent justice. The work then describes the uses of the institution through the European Middle Ages to its final abolition, and in the process offers a rich typology of ordeals. Additional documents included in this edition present formulas and descriptions of some of the ordeals most frequently used: the ordeal by boiling water, by hot water, by cold water, by hot iron and water, by glowing plowshares, by fire, and the ordeal of the cross.
