INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR

RESEARCH ON INQUISITIONS

INQUIRE is an international research centre hosted by the University of Bologna, which promotes research into the history of medieval and early modern inquisitions and their modern continuations. It provides a venue for exchange of ideas among scholars of the history of religious repression, ecclesiastical justice and censorship across different periods and areas of the world. Our main initiatives include the organization of an annual conference; the regular publication of collections of essays, monographs and editions of sources; and the development of research projects. We also curate several searchable databases aimed to update students, the community of scholars, and all those interested in the sources, images, and bibliographies of the history of inquisitions.
