[Josep Marti · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really good account. The first chapters were very useful because they presented the relationship between the XII and XIII centuries heresies and the beginning of the Inquisition, and how the papacy was involved in both. It has made me want to read Bishop Douais' books on the Inquisition.

[Sharon · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is excellent, in terms of quality of writing and of research. It does read as a denser version of his "The Medieval Inquisition", probably because this book was Shannon's dissertation, and TME was published much later. It is a worthwhile book if one is invested in the topic and the scholar, but otherwise reading TME is sufficient.
