Description

The Martyred Inquisitor explores the life and legacy of Peter of Verona, a dominant figure in thirteenth-century Catholic history who rose from a Cathar-sympathetic family in Verona around 1206 to become one of the most influential Dominican saints of his era. As a pioneering member of the Dominican order's earliest generation, Peter earned renown both as a powerful preacher and as one of the Church's most notable papal inquisitors. His career came to an abrupt and violent end in 1252 when Milanese heretics assassinated him shortly after his appointment as inquisitor for Lombardy. This scholarly work fills a significant gap in medieval religious history by providing the first comprehensive modern examination of Peter's transformative influence on the Dominican order, the development of inquisitorial practice, and the cult of veneration that surrounded his martyrdom throughout medieval Christendom.

Key Features

The Martyred Inquisitor details Peter of Verona's conversion from a Cathar-influenced background to become a leading Catholic Dominican and papal inquisitor.

This monograph examines Peter's role as one of the first generations of Dominicans and his significance as a spellbinding medieval preacher.

The book covers Peter of Verona's assassination in 1252 by Milanese heretics and the subsequent cult that developed around his martyrdom.

Published by Routledge within the Church, Faith and Culture in the Medieval West series, this work addresses a gap in modern scholarship on thirteenth-century Dominican history.

This historical biography connects Peter's life to broader themes of medieval religion, inquisitorial development, and saint veneration in the High Middle Ages.
