Medieval Historical Resources
Religion
- The Henry Charles Lea Library collects primary
materials for the study of late medieval and early modern periods. The
Library focuses on the history of religion with a special interest in
the institutional, legal, and ecclesiastical bases of Church organization
and governance during these periods and, most especially, the Inquistion
in Europe generally, and Spain in particular. This collection originated
as the private working research library of the Philadelphia scholar
Henry Charles Lea (1825-1909), author of books on the Inquistion and
the Catholic Church. Witchcraft and magic are also subjects the Lea
Library collects extensively.
