Abstract
This essay deals with the topic of the Venetian Inquisition, namely the activity
of the Holy Office (Santo Uffizio). At the beginning, the origin and development
of the Inquisition will be clarified, as well as its methods of action and process
management. The complexity of the relations between the Republic of Venice
and the Holy See will be pointed out, which are essential for understanding the
independence of the activities of the Inquisition itself. Before the very conclusion, several processes that were conducted against Croats will be analysed, since
these files are partly elaborated and available in the Croatian language.
