This project examines the critical discourses surrounding the medieval inquisition which emerged in Italy and France between the 1230s and 1330s and which evolved into a finely-tuned apparatus of decision-making. The project thus asks which aspects of inquisitional decision-making were criticized, reflected and adapted (in certain circumstances) as a result. It can thus be understood as a case study on the institutionalization and transformation of decision-making structures while also investigating the demarcations made between the cultures of religious and legal decision-making that were inextricably intertwined in the inquisition.
