The Inquisition in 15 minutes

ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:54:00 +0000

In this 15-minute educational video produced by Academia Play, the Visual Thinking technique is used to explain the importance of the Spanish Inquisition or Tribunal of the Holy Office created in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs. The video focuses on disproving misinformation through a series of contrasted references about the origin, purpose and way of acting. The description of the video states: “In this video we are going to talk about the Inquisition, and above all we are going to focus on the Spanish Inquisition. When we hear the word inquisition we immediately think of death, torture, fanaticism, intolerance, control and fear…. These characteristics undoubtedly existed and that is why this phenomenon has tended to be explained from a somewhat sensationalist and often distorted point of view. In this video we are going to refute a series of commonly accepted clichés, most of the time due to the bombardment of erroneous information. At the end of the video we will include a small bibliography for those who want to approach this subject from a rigorous approach. We have been advised by Don César Cervera Moreno”.

The British Museum opened its doors to the public in 1759, the starting point of its collection being the rarities, manuscripts, coins and medals owned by Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), president of the Royal Society.

The search for pieces and works can be carried out through its search engine by entering keywords, although it is also possible to browse the collections by theme.
