We analyzed the spaces of interrogation in the Milan trial with the Guglielmites, 1300. The spatial patterns of interrogation are striking, and clearly based on gender.
Quantitative research into medieval inquisition records is far from being a set of boring tables and numbers; there are intriguing stories behind. We have looked at the spaces of interrogation in a Milanese trial from 1300, and it transpired that there is a clear gender pattern. Check why this is the case in the September issue of History Today.
DISSINET has developed an interactive map of the occupations, dissident religious affiliations, and locations of residence of nearly 900 persons suspected of heresy in the inquisition register of Bologna, 1291–1310.
Building upon the invaluable work of modern editors, the DISSINET project is building a textual corpus of medieval inquisitorial material, which now contains 15 registers, totals over 1.6 million tokens, and ranges from North-Central Italy through Languedoc to England, and from the 1230s until the 1520s.
