The routine of the Inquisition

In fact, it was the Spanish and Roman Inquisition that persecuted witches the least. In witch-hunting the German Inquisition and secular courts of the Protestant States, and also "witch-hunters" widespread in the same Protestant countries were noted. Interestingly, in contrast to the judicial institutions of Europe 15-17 centuries, the Inquisition was strictly regulate the process duration (the figure below shows the hourglass that measures the time of torture) and the type of torture (broasting five Spaniards almost never used). Moreover, in the most Inquisition torture were used relatively rarely. And even more unexpected for me was the discovery that the suspects preferred to get under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition (Spain or Rome), and not under the jurisdiction of the secular court - there was a high probability to get out of prison healthy. In addition, the Registrar of the Tribunal could be a student (at that time, students were part of the clergy, as universities were spiritual organizations).
