In the Paris condemnation of 1248 the Talmud only is specified, though in the examination mention is made of the Gloss of Solomon of Troyes, and of a work which from its description would seem to be the Toldos Jeschu, or history of Jesus, which so excited the ire of the Carthusian, Ramon Marti, in his _Pugio Fidei_, and of all subsequent Christians (cf.

Wagenseilii Tela Ignea Satanae, Altdorfi, 1681). No one can read its curious account of the career of Christ from a Jewish standpoint without wondering that a single copy of it was allowed to reach modern times.

[527] I have treated this subject at some length in an essay on torture (Superst.i.tion and Force, 3d Edition, 1878), and need not here dwell further on its details. The student who desires to see the shape which the inquisitorial process a.s.sumed in later times can consult Brunnemann (Tractatus Juridicus de Inquisitionis Processu, Ed. octava, Francof.

1704), who attributes its origin to the Mosaic law (Deut. XIII. 12; XVII. 4), and vastly prefers it to the proceeding _per accusationem_.

Indeed, a case in which _accusatio_ failed or threatened to fail could be resumed or continued by _inquisitio_ (op. cit. Cap. I. No. 2, 15-18).

It supplied all deficiencies and gave the judge almost unlimited power to convict.

The manner in which the civil power was led to adopt the abuses of the Inquisition is well ill.u.s.trated in a Milanese edict of 1393, where the magistrates, in proceedings against malefactors, are ordered to employ the inquisitorial process "_summarie et de plano sine strepitu et figura juditii_" and to supply all defects of fact "_ex certa scientia_"

(Antiq. Duc.u.m Mediolan. Decreta. Mediolani, 1654, p. 188). A comparison of this with the Milanese jurisprudence of sixty years earlier, quoted above (p. 401), will show how rapidly in the interval force had usurped the place of justice.

[528] Fortescue de Laudibus Legum Angliae cap. xxii.--As late as 1823 there is a case in which a court in Martinique condemned a man to the galleys for life for "vehement suspicion" of being a sorcerer (Isambert.

Anc. Loix Francaises, XI. 253).

[529] There is evidently something lacking here. It can doubtless be supplied from Moneta, p. 151. "Et e contrario Deuteronomii, 15, v. 9, dicit legislator: _Dominaberis nationibus plurimis et nemo tibi dominabitur_."

[530] It was this bull which enabled inquisitors to administer torture.

A date several years later has usually been a.s.signed to it.
