THE INQUISITION—THE BOHEMIAN PERSECUTION.
My query as to the authorship of The Adventures of Gaudentio di Lucca has drawn so satisfactory a reply from your correspondents (whom I beg to thank most heartily for the information they have communicated), that I am induced to ask you to aid me in ascertaining the authorships of the following works of which I have copies:—
"Histoire de l'Inquisition et son Origine. A Cologne, chez Pierre Marteau, M.DC.XCIII." 1 vol. 12mo.
Is this the same work as that mentioned in Watt's Bib. Brit. as—
"The History of the Inquisition and its Origin, by James Marsollier, 1693." 12mo.?
I have often searched for a copy of this work in English, but have never found it. Was it ever translated into English?
"L'Inquisizione processata opera storica e curiosa, Divisa in due Tomi. In Colonia Appresso Paulo della Tenaglia, M.DC.LXXXI."
I should like to know something of the authorship of these volumes, and of the circumstances under which they were published.
"The Slaughter-House, or a brief description of the Spanish Inquisition, &c., gathered together by the pains and study of James Salgado." N.D.
The biographical dictionaries within my reach give no account of Salgado. Who was he?
"Historia Persecutionium Ecclesiæ Bohemicæ jam inde à primordiis Conversionis suæ ad Christianismum hoc est, 894, ad annum usque 1632, Ferdinando Secundo Austriaco regnante, &c., anno Domini M D CXLVIII." 1 vol. 32mo.
I have an English translation of this small work, published in 1650. Can any of your readers inform me who were the authors? (The preface concludes, "In our banishment in the year 1632. N. N. N., &c.")
