The work is basically a ‘guide’ about inquisitorial procedures. This is one of the essential works to really understand the Inquisition, along with Carena’s Tractatus de Officio Sanctissimae Inquisitionis (which I will put up for auction on this same platform soon) or others such as Eymeric’s Directorium Inquisitorum, or Luis de Páramo’s De iusta haereticorum puntitione. Interesting work.
