Inquisition and the Prosecution of Heresy

The year 1988 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of H. C. Lea's A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages. I would like to get the next century off to a good start by renaming his enterprise "A History of the Criminal Prosecution of Heretics in the Middle Ages." The term inquisition has been widely misunderstood and misused by historians. There are two distinct abuses, one upper-case and the other lower-case
